ibelee Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Picking it up in the morning. Then the fun starts. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=005&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=150111322626&rd=1&rd=1
Kent Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Nice machine for the price. Sheet metal looks straight and solid. If it makes you feel better, I paid twice that for a B-210 with mower deck and snowblower 9 years ago -- that's what started this whole "experience..." It did have hydraulic lift, though, which was the final deciding factor. Looks like you've got a good restoration candidate -- or just a hard worker -- whichever you decide to do...
ehertzfeld Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Did you notice that the guy put a chain off the lift lever on the left, to lift the deck even? Never thought of that!:O:D Simple tractors, simple solutions!!!
ibelee Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 Thanks guys. I can't wait to see it. The guy says he also has a 48" MW Snowblower that he used on it this year. Does that sound right? Selling it to me for $50. Yea, I saw the chain and was curious about that. Thanks for cluing me into the reason for it. Also saw the tie wire in the back...? This, as well as all future tractors, will be both a restore and a worker. Will use it this spring and early summer while collecting parts for the restoration. I'm gonna do it just like we do our snow plows and hydraulic pumps. Complete tear down. Stripped to bear metal. All metal parts heat baked to remove the moisture. Auto primer, auto paint, auto clear coat to all parts. New seals, rings, gaskets and bolts. Will be adding the Hydro, Ag Tires, implements, weights, and hopefully some more stuff. Love the look of dual wheels but am not sure about the practicality for my use. I really...really...really... want the front end loader. We'll see. I'm going after the B10 with the tiller next weekend.sm01
ibelee Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 Will the deck off the B-112 work on the B10 or does the difference in the length of the tractor preclude this?
Marty-MN Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Looks like a good buy weather you restore or work it or both
ibelee Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 Thanks Marty. Nice looking D-15. Hope to get a larger tractor in the future. Just have to figure out how to justify it for the garden. Drive tractor...drop plow...drive 20 feet...pick up plow...turn around...sm01 Wife is already looking cross eyed at me for buying the 10 and the 112. Says I have to get some of the snowplows out of the driveway before I buy anything else.
