Homelite T-10

[Austin]

I have a chance at a Homelite T-10, with an original blower, and owner says it comes with a deck too but has no picture. As far as I know it does not run but it is all original (minus seat). What should I expect to pay for something like this? Looks like most of the rust would clean up decently.

It's a late AC built T-10. 

I'm not a fan of T-10s.  However in April 2004 I bought this non-running early one for $100, -  tractor, Sears blade, & 42" deck:

 

As I'm sure you're aware, there's a Homelite snowblower listed on FMP for $120 that appears to be in better shape.

T-10’s aren’t the best usability wise I agree. I figured however this original T-10 would pair well with my restored T-10. I am aware of the other Homelite snowblower on FMP, but it is missing the hitch. Which from my research is specific to the Homelite blowers.

On the currently listed FMP Homelite snowblower, I believe the hitch is stuffed into the chute.  The current sale is a flip (which I believe you are also aware) and I remember the hitch being in the chute on the original listing (although CRS might be at work here).  

Anyway, you are correct about  AC built Homelite snowblower hitches being unique - there are two of them, an early and late.  

And a closer look at the snowblower pic you posted above shows a Simplicity 2 pulley hitch which would be for a Simplicity built Homelite and won't fit an AC built Homelite.

I bought a T-16H with a blower at auction years ago for $100.  There is getting to be more interest in these in the local arenas, so the pricing I'm guessing would be 100-300 on something like the above. 

 

Here I am trying to get rid of tractors, and you guys posting all these Blue ones is starting to give me that old itch again....
