Pullstart 69,452 #1 Posted February 11 Grabbed a few items on a pick yesterday. I was called out to plow, and it turned into a free score! The house was being sold on Friday. If I saw something I wanted, take it. Two loads hauled in the pickup, and one in the trailer. Jada and Mrs. P went picking in the house too. Cool stuff! 7 11 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 9,706 #12 Posted February 12 It's amazing how much stuff is cool and good on those finds. Most just don't want to deal with it. Nice to see it go some where instead of being scrapped. Portrait of uncle Jim? 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 69,452 #14 Posted February 12 The Honda 250 is a ‘91 XR250L. I dropped it off with my old neighbor who’s been tinkering with it. I tried giving it to him, but like Uncle Jim he says no thanks I’m full. He has spark, all the lights work, and is working on making it make noise. He said he wants to get it running, then give it back to me 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prolly not Ollie seeing that iv bottle on it but still worth saving. They are just such cool tractors. I been eyeballing this one on MP but a little $1200 rich for my blood. Surely worth that tho.

A 1957 with phenomenal patina, and a restored 1959. Both sold. I did have a bunch of parts though that my good friend @Chris Gtook off my hands! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 55,829 #22 Posted February 13 (edited) 4 hours ago, Buckeyes said: No I only had the 2. Any pics Buckeyes? Are they considered rare then and worth the asking prices? I would love to have one. Patinaed or restored im not picky. A guy Dan and I know has one but afraid to ask if he wants to part with it. Think this is a '58. Almost as fun as a Amigo to drive.

Buckeyes 266 #23 Posted February 13 (edited) Wow @WHX??! That's a beauty! I don't have have any pictures of mine, but I'll have to look. My 57 looked like that one -model 21hd (round hood). I believe the later 57 (21hd) and the 58 looked about the same. My 59 (model 230) was when they switched to the square hood. I much prefer the look of the round hoods personally. I personally wouldn't have a problem paying his asking price, but that's just me. Especially with the electric start and lights. I don't think I've seen both those options on the same tractor! Beautiful! I would consider that one on the rarer side, especially in that condition.They aren't fast by any means, they remind me of my RJ35s. I always thought they were pretty cool little tractors.

Pullstart 69,452 #24 Posted February 13 Keep in mind this one has small back tires and a slightly different drive system. Not sure what difference that makes, but it rolled even with 4 tires flat on the bottom! Update in the Honda, my buddy got it running and rode it down his driveway and back! 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would definitely be ask for forgiveness. 3 hours ago, Buckeyes said: with the electric start and lights Yes I thought that was about as rare as say a original '58 RJ with electric start. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
