firefoxz1 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Well someone said 13 was unlucky but I got lucky ,or maybe unlucky?, and had some stuff follow me home today. Is 15 unlucky? To top it off my B10 will have some A/C family now. I missed a deal on a 3416H with snow-blower, plow, tiller, and vacuum attachment out of the local papershop, didn't last long at the price:(!. But the next day this deal fell in my lap and couldn't say no:D:D. All barn stored so condition is excellent beside some owner neglect and varmit abuse.

firefoxz1 Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 At $300 for everything I would say I got a very good deal:D:D and why I couldn't pass up the deal, even though I really was looking for a 16hp tractor. So far the cards have not been good to me in that aspectC. At this point I think I can no longer look for a tractor with a 16hp or I will be living with them out in a dog house:O:(. I will have to just rebuild the 15hp I picked up and do an engine change in one I already have. I quess I can't complain that a deal never comes my way. Over the past couple years I can think of atleast three very good purchases that only a fool would pass up. The only other thing that has eluded me is a powerlift tractor, hydro or electric. With patience and time one that has both may show up at my door:D:D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefoxz1 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Big Ten - Well beside the hood being all bent up the Big Ten is in good working order. I put gas in it, had to clean the points, and it fire right up and never skipped a beat. I even took two swipes around the yard with the mower. Only concern is the BGB is a little on the sloppy side, but OK for use for now. HB112 - This one looks good, but... Engine and Deck are great but the rest will need a lot of work to get going again. BGB is all but shot. Brake pedal isn't even connected. The brake band is twisted. Looks like the hydro leaks more than he said. The steering is sloppy. All the tin is straight though and can be restored. Don't think I've ever seen a tractor look so good but be in such poor shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-17_Dave Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 No matter how bad the tractor looks condition wise it's still a HB112. How can you go wrong?;) Everything you've descibed can be a simple parts swap and you'd have a very orriginal tractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxz1 Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Well, I wasn't looking to get into another "project" so not sure what I'm going to do with the HB112 yet. Even with a good engine and deck is it worth it to dig in and fix it, maybe, but will be low on the list as I have other projects going on also and not looking forward to fixing hydro leaks:(. A more thorough investigation will tell. I haven't worked all those bugs out of the 3410H yetB). If I get a shop built this summer things will go along faster:D:D.

HubbardRA Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 What do you want for the 112 forward of the BGB and without the engine? That and my 7116H combined would make a nice HB116 with a Sunstrand tranny and charge pump operated hydrolift. Then Maynard wouldn't be the only person to have one.:D To me, the B112 is the best looking tractor that was ever built. Let's see, where can I find a set of running boards for one of them?}:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxz1 Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 Rod, Haven't completely decided what to do with it yet. I know I want to dig a little deeper into it's woes before I make that final decision. I will keep you in mind if it comes to thatB):(. On second thought why would I let you destroy a FDT with them whatchamacalits:D:D I almost have to agree on the looks but I think I like the round hood "with" the bug eyes better and in Simplicity dress.

Tacey Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Nice haul for a very good price. Are those wheel weights factory? Those alone are probably worth fifty bucks, easy. I've never seen a deal like that in Pennsylvania. I must not look in the right places. Tacey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxz1 Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Tacey, No they are not factory that I know of. They are 50# each. You are on the other side of the state:p:D. I didn't find these by chance, I am constantly scanning the newspaper and papershop and every once in awhile something like this pops up. I will have to stop looking for now (to many projects lined up) so I don't know what else I will miss. I was posting some of these deals I passed on in the e-bay and other ads section but there were never any takers are even inquiries so I stopped.

HubbardRA Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Marty, They all have "something" that can be improved upon.:D I said the B112 was the best looking. Never said I was into absolutely accurate restorations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
