Holy :||! Nice Score! That Blue/White JD is a Padio Tractor (I think) I have seen them go for alot of $$$$$ on Ebay. If you need a Hood and grill for the broadmoor, let me know. (did you see if they cut up any simplicitys?sm02wah)

Hey. Those lights on the Broadmoor look factory to me. Not sure about the LL lights though.

[HubbardRA 19]

Black dash is a 64 Landlord.

[ZippoVarga 75]

64 LL, 65-66 Broadmoor. The presence of side plates on the broadmoor eliminates it from the original 64 model. The light bar on the broadmoor is original and scarce. The light brackets on the 64LL are from a later square hood model. Those weights are refered to as doughnut weights, usually used on the large framed tractors. HOLD ONTO THEM. The JD is a VERY collectible Patio JD. If a restoration was in order on any of them, money wise, the JD would yield the greatest return. The Landlord has a 23D engine. PDF File is available through the Briggs sight. Be VERY careful with dry firing the 23D briggs. The lack of real bearings on the crank to block plates can cause you major scalding issues and render the crank and end plates useless with out re-surfacing and bushing the end plates and crank. The half tractor frame with ags still has the identification plates on it. With those you can figure out if the rear transaxle is desireable or not for re-sale to help finance the repairs to the LL and Broadmoor. The seat on the half tractor would make a great shop bench if you could find an old milk barrel. If your into stuff like that that is. Enjoy, fantastic haul!

Around here the Deere Patios are bringing about a $$$ Grand $$$ for restoration projects. The old Blue David Bradley Sears was worth some money, till they cut it in half.

Great haul!. JH

[firefoxz1 4]

Great haul indeed. Sean(ZippoVarga) You get a gold star for a great response. Can't really add anything to what you said.

NICE SAVE

[rokon2813 272]

the sears david bradley is still worth something. the rear end is the same as used on most of the walk behinds and being a tractor, it has the very desirable "reversing kit" that will mount right on the walkers

[SimpleTom 4]

OO OO :O :O ! ! Nice score!!!!! Tom

[MPH 12]

Great save Perry, you did a mighty fine deed for the weekend.^

[B-16_IC 1,029]

Nice save! I have been having sad thoughts lately knowing that around here scrap has been $160-$180 a ton! I am sure some good stuff is getting scrapped, some people just don't understand that there are people like us who still use this stuff. I scrap some myself, but if I take the Victor to it, it is junk!

[Killer_A-C 0]

Nice save on those.Love it when people rescue the ol'tractors!!!

[TimJr 206]

The Broadmoor looks like it is a 717 from 1967-68. If that is the right engine anyway - can tell by the carb. The side panels that cover up the steering gears were only on the 707 and 717 models - the first 3 years of 6hp Broadmoors were open under the fuel tank. The lights are correct, and the rear weight set up is the correct factory option. The donuts are just add-ons to the bar if you needed more weight. It also appears to be a 36" deck? Hard to tell in the picture, but 717's were the only round hood Broadmoor to come with a 36", although it would swap onto any of them. That JD Patio tractor should easily finance the fix up of your other tractors, or since your investment cost was right, maybe keep it because you won't get another one like that again! Tim
