WH people in or near Indiana - offloading a large part of my collection

[davem1111 2,334]

This thread is mostly to see if there is any interest in working a deal by anyone within driving distance to me (however far they are willing to drive...).  I hope it is okay to post this here.  I will put specific ads in the For Sale Classifieds, but I don't have specifics or pictures yet.
 

My wife and I are serious about moving next year, hopefully early in the year, and I need to do some serious downsizing.  I'm going to sell my 416-H (which at the moment is having some running problems that I have yet to solve),  as well as a 520-H project tractor with swept front end, custom motion pedal, and a Kohler Series II KT17 engine that I believe was recently rebuilt before I acquired it (PO had died...).  Several Decks, a 400/500 series frame with hydro rear which I had belt-tested a while back and think is in decent shape, hydraulic lift cylinder, some fender and hood tins, wheels, tires, steering wheel, and a bunch of misc. smaller parts.  

 

I'm hoping someone who is within driving distance will buy the whole lot and come haul it off - I will make a very enticing deal on the lot.  There are quite a few items that I will give away for free under the right circumstances. I don't care that much about the money, since having this stuff hang around is going to make it difficult to prep the property for sale between now and next spring. Anything I still have at some point will be going out by the road and/or to scrap.

 

I will try to get things organized and take some pictures soon.  

 

Anyone interested, send me a PM.  Some small things I can sell separately and ship (or donate and ship for free), large stuff I may sell separately but I don't want to hurt my chances at selling the whole lot either.  I am about 8 miles off I-69, west of Bloomington IN.

The 416H has become a favorite of mine.  I wish I was closer.  I'd either help you fix it or take it off your hands.

 

Where are you planning to move to and why, if you don't mind sharing?

I'm just a few hours North. Not a bad drive. We visit our twin granddaughters at IU on occasion. I look forward to seeing more details.

Yep, Richard has an idea, because I asked him some questions about Franklin NC.  In general we're looking at the Smoky Mountains area, something with a quaint small downtown in walkable or quick drive distance. We're tired of being isolated out here. So, Franklin is pretty high on the list, possibly #1. We're actually watching the home listings on Zillow pretty closely and have seen at least one we'd buy right now if we had a buyer for our place. But next spring is the target. 

 

Yeah Bill D, I would be happy if I could get that 416-H into your hands - you helped me out with some parts a while back. I'll be repainting that one hood pretty soon.
