Tom Deutsch 0 Posted December 13, 2007 Don't know what you folks think about Ariens machines. But I know the Kohler 16 is a good engine and it sounds like this tractor has good parts at least. If I had time or inclination, I might go after it. Anyway, someone go get it if it's good! http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/grd/508402577.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris727 1,847 Posted December 13, 2007 Price is too high for something that isn't currently running. The engines from the ariens have the right pan to fit in an Allis or Simplicity, but if it has sat for 3 years it could have stuck rings or other hidden problems.

msiebern 0 Posted December 14, 2007 The 3 point hight and rear pto would fetch almost $300 by themselves. Was watching a 3 point on E-bay awhile back and it went over $250. My budget ended at $150 :(! They are a heavy tractor. The main thing I would look at would be the condition of the hydro and hydraulic lift. In reality, even in running condition, a K341 that old I would count on a rebuild, regardless of what the buyer says. This tractor has some very sought after pieces on it. It would be like finding a 2210 non running with hydraulic lift and maybe a rear tiller pto drive complete. Wouldn't those drive the price higher than a straight non runner? Again, beauty and value is in the eye of the beholder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruker 2 Posted December 14, 2007 If it's been sitting in the woods for 3 years I'll bet all the wires have been chewed by mice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olcowhand 0 Posted December 14, 2007 With rear pto & 3pt lift, I'd still give $500 for it IF the hydro was known to be good. But if a common hydro pump, that wouldn't scare me away either. Depends on the buyer if it's worth it or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
