Karl_Brandt Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 I went to a auction sale on good Friday. There was several tractors there MTD,White,John Deere,Allis Chalmers. Buy the time they got to the Allis Chalmers 42" snow blower nobody wanted it,and I bid on it...won the snow blower.Later when they got to the Allis Chalmers 917H...the tractor did not sell the reserve bid was too high.Later I got a call from the auction to come and look atthe tractor.Got the price down a little and half hour later I had another Allis Chalmers tractor.

MPH Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Nice score Karl. That 42 inch blower doesn't look it saw much use in the pic.
firefoxz1 Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Nice score, tractor and snowblower seem to be in good shape. Don't know about the deck, It looks very close to a Simp/A-C deck even left discharge and for a mid PTO. Looks to have a tag on the right side on the deck?
Tacey Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Mind if I ask how much $ you paid for those tractors? Every time I go to an auction, the A/C Simplicity stuff goes up past my limit lickity-split! Nice tractors, BTW! Tacey
comet66 Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Nice score! Is that Haban deck as heavy duty as it looks?
Karl_Brandt Posted March 27, 2005 Author Posted March 27, 2005 The snow blower is in very good shape,MFG.no.1690032. I was told the snow blower and tractor came form two different sellers.The snow blower had the newer hitch style for the bevel box drive.And the tractor also is this newer style. The tractor has a replacement after maket mufflers.(duel exhaust) The engine runs good no smoke. The seat is from a MTD tractor,bevel box gears have too play. The mower deck is heavy built,no rollers on front of deck,all the way down must have been a good dirt thrower.;) The mower has some blue paint under the orange paint. I paid $115.00 Canadian for the snow blower,$624.50 Canadian for the tractor. After my and my dad got home,unloaded tractor & pushed trailer in its parking place my neighbor drove by and turned around in outer driveway and came over to see if I had bought the tractor(Loves Allis Chalmers tractors).He was the one who called my from the auction sale.

AGCO918 Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Looks like you now own a very nice looking tractor & have a very nice snowblower for next winter, and will get some good use out of the mower.
D-17_Dave Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Great looking tractor, tough looking deck. Even if it doesn't cut as good as the orriginal.
Just_Me Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Nice looking tractor and snowblower, But be careful with that blower. It's the same as mine and I lost two fingers and almost the thumb. But they can be alot of fun. I have a new nic name stubby.........
