larry8200 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Thats when you just HAVE TO HAVE IT??? Am I sick? Probably, and maybe contagious too.. I know people with cabin cruisers who between mooring, fuel, and winter storage spend twice a year what I've spent in the last year on my collection. So who's sick? LOL So anyway, I just HAD TO HAVE this parts manual, covers everything from the wonderboy 305 to the Sovereign 7000, and walkers, walk behind mowers Sno-aways, rototillers... as well as every attachment made through the late 70's. WOW [img]http://www.michaelstractors.com/forum/upload/larry8200/20115213654_SAM_0543.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.michaelstractors.com/forum/upload/larry8200/20115213846_SAM_0544.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.michaelstractors.com/forum/upload/larry8200/20115213949_SAM_0545.JPG[/img] Please note the loose manuals in this next picture, what makes this so much FUN, of course, is that the machines they go to came with them! [img]http://www.michaelstractors.com/forum/upload/larry8200/201152131236_SAM_0547.JPG[/img] They have sat in a barn for 10 years untouched. In going over them everything is nice and tight and feels just like it should, Steering is as tightr as I've seen, BGB, engine, transmission, pto all nice, mower deck seems ready to roll, blades are sort of even sharp. Only thing missing is the pto belt and pto to mower belt. even all four original hood knobs are there, as well as the plastic cover on the front pto. Although the seats have had it, they just look weathered, not worn, and the steering wheels and pedals dont look worn either. I'm pretty certain if I auctioned off the manual on eBay, I would break even, even after thier fee's.

lampoulos Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 You're a sick man. The thing I want to know is how you find these deals all the time.
perry Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 nice! sm01. you are doing good man. tractors are adding up, keep what you want and sell off the rest ;)
Mel_W Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Anyone ever hear of someone trying to corner the market? Soon Larry will be the Walmart of A/C and Simplicity tractor stuff. I'd hate to have to change brands because parts were unavailable even used ones. Nice stuff there Lar. Hope you get to run all of them. Mel

ReedS Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Hmm, no wonder I can't find anything for sale any more! LOL

I wrapped bungee's around it, I only went 35 miles on NH 31, a "Scenic Highway" with a top speed of 40... Washington, Antrim, Bennington, Greenfield, Lyndeboro, all with dilapadated country stores advertising "fresh nightcrawlers" Of course my town, Unity, NH is so backward Obama and Hillary did a campaign speech here in 08 claiming "Mostly unpaved roads" and "More likely to see a horse than a car..." Apparently they think cars have 4 legs.....
