Simpleton7016 Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I always look forward to Monday and Tuesday to see what y'all were able to grab over the weekend. I think this is the first weekend I can remember where y'all got skunked! Me thinks it is time to regroup and re-double your efforts. I am sure I am not the only member who lives vicariously through the rest of you! C'mon guys, let's focus a little more on yard shopping and a little less on your honeydo task list! Crickets....all I hear is crickets. I am so disappointed!
Karl_Brandt Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 My nephew kept me busy on Saturday. Working a MF1450 & taking apart a Tecumseh 13hp engine. I did go to a Simplicity dealer to look at a few tractors but they were closed. And picking up leaves & a few other things.On Sunday it rained all day up here. Karl
RBE17 Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I guess I'll have to take a picture of my Danco loader and Brantley backhoe I picked up for my 9020.

MarksA-C Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Don't worry Erik, soon I'll have a haul and I'll need your help getting it started! 8D
joshuaareed Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I spent all day Sunday trying to find my tool bench and the floor in my garage. I got the snowblower in the pic for free from a friend, and it even runs.I am gonna get started on rebuilding the old bolens plow to fit on my A/C 314D
joshuaareed Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Thank you, It is nice to be able to find things again. Now if I can get my two kids to put their toys and bicycles back where they got them from. It's not fair that I have to share my garage with my kids.
ZippoVarga Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Well...My weekend included helping a buddy out. A three month old "side of the road" find by me which yielded my buddy a very nice addition to his GT14 Wheel Horse which I also located for him and even provided him a TRADE tractor so that he got the GT14 free of charge.(Don't wory..the trade tractor was free to me also...A story for another time) . A free to me, then free to him, leaf vac head unit complete with a poorly running, yet repairable, gold series 5hp briggs (rings), ample tubing and even the rear Tach a Matic hitch and the discharge pick up chute. Well....what's he missing?...... The collection trailer materials. An old sulkey, angle iron from a 300 gallon gravity fed oil drum frame that was on my property when I originally purchased it 7 years ago (Which goes to show you....Never throw anything away...lol), left over 24 inch wide flashing material that the company I hired to do my roof left behind, galvenized green house 5/8ths window actuator bar aka galvenized water line with out the NPT threads that was a deomlition find, a 13/16ths tongue and groove sheet of sub flooring left over from my loft project 5 years ago in which it was first used as a portable motorcycle platform, along with donated iron from the afore mentioned oil tank iron that was put in a horse trailer to get his and my bikes to Florida for the 03 Bike Week in Daytona, and a good deal of imagination and ingenuity on our part to put all this stuff together to make a rolling rigid platform and back board for the soon to be completed collection trailer. Moral of the story.....Albeit.....NOT a weekend of immediate aquisitions, immediate road side salvations or immediate great hauls that were a result of THIS weekends posts....It was a devoted weekend for our passion. And it included a vast variety of various aquisitions that, ironically, bore no out of pocket expense. I call that an interesting tractor related weekend. Oh......it did put the brakes on getting much done with the Sovereign. But....if we all had a time line that we refused to wane from then, IMHO, nothing would get done on time. :p Sean aka ZippoVarga
firefoxz1 Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Well I'll add that I was busy getting rid of, not picking up this weekend.
MPH Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Haven't had a tractor score in so long thinking about bringing home another Wards Gilson for a 100 bucks. It has a 15 hp cast iron briggs with S/G that supposely needs a new carb.
Roy Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Gee Marty, if you would drag one of those Eskimo women home you wouldn't be worried about scoring another tractor. :D

At the risk of starting a dispute that belongs in the BRL, I don't think a woman would be a satisfactory substitute for a few good tractors. Nor vice versa. -DM
MPH Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 Ain't never met one with an on/off switch Roy!
DMedal Posted September 15, 2007 Posted September 15, 2007 turnin' em off is easy. Just don't try to start her without a long cool down.
