goatfarmer Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Caught another one from my "Buying Simplicity/AC tractors"ad.7016 Hydro.Runs good,doesn't smoke,but dropped the driveshaft for some reason. The guy I got it from bought it last week at an auction.I gave him his $200 back. He also told me at the same auction,a Simplicity 7790 diesel sold for $300.00! That buyer tinkered with it for a half hour,and drove it on his trailer. I'm thinking this was a scary situation,when the driveshaft tried to escape.[:0]
comet66 Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Nice catch, glad I wasn't sitting on it when it let go!!
mbrook Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Nice buy, was that one located in Michigan on the East side of the state? An a side note. This past winter I was plowing my driveway when the driveshaft on my 3212 came loose from the engine. I was at full throttle scraping ice off the drive when it let go. There was enough force that when it came off the center cap on me steering wheel flew in the air a couple of feet!
goatfarmer Posted July 29, 2005 Author Posted July 29, 2005 This one was located in Northern Indiana,between Angola,and Lagrange. I'll bet that loose shaft on the 3212 scared the bejeebers out of you!
