jellyghost 378 #1 Posted December 28, 2017 I have been reading Straight from the Horse's Mouth, and that led me down a rabbit hole. My grandparent's farm is a few miles away from the birthplace of Elmer Pond. Elmer and his brother (founder of Speedex) worked at Shaw Manufacturing in a tiny Kansas town. Among other things, Shaw made garden tractors, and I found one for sale. As it turns out, the seller knows some of my family, and his late father was a great collector. His father got a shaw tractor running and accumulated another frame and multiple engines. $2500 is the asking price, but I don't think the value is really known. It will go to auction if he doesn't sell it first. Any ideas on value or desirability? If anyone is interested, I would be happy to make an introduction. I am only interested if it is almost free. Here are some pictures of the collection for sale: 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
