GT Auction Yesterday...Check Out the Haul!!!

Goatboy · May 31, 2015

Spent over 12 hrs yesterday buying and hauling tractors and related items. Here's some of what I got...

The prices were just too low to resist!! Tractors for $25 or less. I paid $40 for the red Sears with the cab, blower and a deck. If it weren't so far I would have bought just about everything!

A lot of about 30 walkbehind snowblowers went for something like $60 or less. Same thing with around 100 push mowers. They went for less than scrap prices I'm sure.

Thanks for sharing you haul Ben! Wish we had auctions like that down here! That sears cab is cool did you get the doors and stuff with it!

That car looks like it holds a lot :sidelaugh. Reminds me of a guy I know who saw someone fit 65 king size pizzas in a Dodge Neon

:sidelaugh Funny Mikey.

I have 3 decks and a Lawnboy in there!
I got the doors for the cab but they need work.

Got to go and unload now...

Great haul Ben, especially the Case and the self powered tiller.

And that last pic with the red snowblower, it looks just like new !!

I suppose the Wife has told you......addiction counselling starts Tuesday at 4:00.

That is some great packing!

Hope the weather is better up there for unloading than all the rain down here

Thanks Larry. I think it was a great haul too.

That blower is in excellent shape and it's basically ready for next winter. Good thing too cause the blade I was using on my SS16 needs some tlc. Now I can put that off!

Not every day you go to an auction that's only Lawn and Garden tractor stuff. I was looking forward to this for months! I really wasn't sure how it was gonna go. I figured there wouldn't be anything too nice there, and there wasn't, but the stuff was going SO cheap I just couldn't resist.

Turns out the Case does run but it needs to be on life support to do so. The key doesn't give power to the coil, the fuel pump doesn't pump or the line is plugged, and the throttle linkage is missing. The brake linkage is also missing. The wheels are in great shape. I think I might part it out to fix my other ones. I need to double check but I think the engine is the correct block for my Case 195 that has the wrong one in it right now.

Some more pics...

What sizes are the spare engines Ben? I've had two calls about the one from my Walker spare parts ZTR. One wanted something for a stump grinder and the other wanted to replace a blown Kohler 20hp in a Walker, but I think from the pics yours are smaller.

MikMan48 · Jun 1, 2015

You got quite a load of tires too Ben! They look in good shape!

The biggest one is the Kawasaki. Not quite sure but I think it's around 12hp. Not sure if it runs yet or not.

Those two briggs' are tiny, maybe 2hp and 3hp. I want to keep those little guys. The bigger one has a clutch that might work good on a minibike I got.

They are in good shape Mikey!

I tried to pick the best ones. That was part of the first load I stuffed in the car along with the 442 in the trailer with one deck and a single furrow plow and the three engines and 6 pails of parts...

I got a pair of 8" rears on 3 bolt rims...they might look good on a Hahn :dunno: They don't have weight holes though

A Flymo?! Good find! GREAT auction!!!

What kind of tread on them Ben? Not looking for new tires, but I have said that before

:sidelaugh. The ones on it are oversprayed and are in kind of sad shape

And ditto on the flymow! That is a neat find in itself.

Can't get a good look at the Kawa, but here is a 1996 Kawa FE 350 11.5hp in my Walker ZTR.

It's a Kawasaki FG300, still not sure about it but sounds smaller than yours.

I can get more pics if you want. I don't really have any plans for that motor.

Actually I just noticed they aren't a matching set. Sorry Mikey.
The rears on the Ford LT110 are 3 bolt too, but once again no weight holes.
What size are the tires on your Hahn? 18" or 20"?

No worries Ben thanks for thinking of me! They are 18". I have a set of tires that can go on it here, just havent gotten around to it yet. Too many other projects, plus something sounds angry in the trans when you roll it. Tires are the least of its problems :sidelaugh

Yes, it's a Flymo!

I always thought they were cool. At $7 I couldn't pass it up. I think it will need a bit of tinkering before the first flight, though.

I never knew they were marketed by Noma.
