davem1111 2,091 #1 Posted August 27, 2023 Woohoo!! Big haul today! I didn't do a "rearview mirror" picture - it would have been hard to see much of it. Some of this stuff will end up in the Classifieds. Mainly the smaller stuff. But I will need to part with some of the larger things also. There's a 17hp Kohler in front of the snow blower also. PO (RIP)'s son thinks his Dad rebuilt it, but it is still partly disassembled. We'll see... will take me at least a few weeks to sort this out. Lots of parts in sealed bags and boxes. Partial tractors are 520-H and 417-H. @padg53 - thank you! @ebinmaine - I'll be working on the list soon but not today. Need to unload, return the trailer, clean up a lot of downed branches from the storm Friday night, and mow some grass & weed whack. Oh, and do some cooking... 1 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjoemie himself 3,072 #3 Posted August 27, 2023 That sure is a nice haul! Not asking what you payed for it but that pile of parts would probably bring close to a few grand this side of the big pond. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's just say "significantly less than a grand" 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep me posted on what's in the pile(s) I feel good about this buy, but at the same time I'm a bit sad. The guy said his Dad was really diving in to rebuilding these, and it's obvious from all the new parts he had been buying (what's in all those boxes). Poor guy died before he got a chance to finish. But the son said his Dad had asked him to try to make sure the stuff went to someone who would either make good use of it or see that it went to "good homes". When we shook hands to say goodbye, he thanked me and said now he felt like he had fulfilled that wish of his Dad's. 4 2 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 70,708 #6 Posted August 27, 2023 I believe the folks on this site will be a great choice for rehoming those parts. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonytoro416 1,096 #7 Posted August 27, 2023 I’m glad you got it scooped up finally. I’m glad I passed on the deal and that you got it. It sounds like you had a good experience and sometimes those buys just plain feel good inside. I am fortunate to have had a few buys like that and it’s worth a lot more than the asking price 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davem1111 2,091 #8 Posted August 28, 2023 I forgot to mention - the guy also had a 312-A that is in beautiful condition, that the son is NOT selling. He said that one had more sentimental value. It looked like a show-quality piece. Impressive. It was in so much better shape than the one I have that I was practically drooling... 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
