Something unexpected

[Chris727 2,148]

I recently moved for college and began checking out the AG dealers for ertl tractors and came accross an AGCO that was going to close in a few months. He has owned the dealer since 1970 and still had a lot of AC stuff in his dealer so I asked about mower stuff. He said he had a lot of AC-Simplicity parts, and that we could make a deal on them. I went through the shelves and pulled out the stuff that interested me, doing so I was astounded. I was pulling brand new B-series parts off the shelf. I spent a lot more than I would have liked to, but it was nothing compared to list prices and now I should be stocked up for a while. Here are the pics:

2 driveshafts, a homesteader gas tank and transmission side plate, and 2 new front spindles.

The steering wheels and winter kit were real shockers. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. You never see B-Series armrests new in the plastic wrap! Too bad there's only one.

A new 1/2 pulley for B's, steering gears, output shaft, 2 steering arms, rectifier, and in one box is a new hood stripe for a 900 series.

2 deck lift straps (these are usually bent or welded), belt guards, pto levers, and an assortment of new S/G wires w/cloth coating.

1 new light with an extra bulb, new s/g bracket, driveshaft isolator, and a steped collar used with later type rear lifts (these are now $26 from Jacks) and some other misc.

a new tiller clutch handle assy, new levers, and an electric lift indicator.

decals, springs, knobs, pins, a new steering wheel cap, and headlight lenses.

2 kohler starter gear overhaul kits, an exhaust valve, and 2 new skid shoes for my blade.

2 new rear drive pulleys for 3sp B's, 1 new 3 step pulley for center pto's, one new hydro pump pulley, and 2 new idlers used on the RBT center PTO's, I have a lot of these go bad, last time I bought one it was $35.

Also got 2 new rollerbars for the FDT decks. I also got this AC shelf, the shelves were too dirty to bring in the house.

These operators manuals were included:

I also got a nice 42" snowblower with the hitch for the 7000 series, I still have to get pics of it. Sorry but I'm not planning on ebaying this stuff, I've got plans to use most of it. Chris
