BOWTIE 226 #1 Posted November 18, 2012 WENT TO A AUCTION TODAY AND THEY HAD IT ADVERTISED 654. THE BELT COVER DECAL SAID 654, I COULDN'T READ THE MODEL NUMBER JUST THE SERIAL IT STARTED WITH A 4XXXX. I LOOKED IT OVER AND IT HAD K161 KOHLER NOT LOCKED UP WITH COMPRESSION,A DOUBLE PULLEY STARTER/GENERATOR WITH NO COVER. IT ALSO HAD A ALUMINIUM GAS TANK/DASH, NO DECK AND WITH REAR AXLE PLOW ATTACHMENT. IT WAS IN ROUGH SHAPE IT SOLD FOR $50. THE BUYER OPEN THE BID AND NOBODY BID AGAINST HIM. HE SHOULD AT STARTED A $25. IT WAS IN MORENGO,OHIO. WAS ANYBODY ELSE THERE? BOWTIE IN OHIO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,547 #2 Posted November 18, 2012 that was very cheap! I have seen those rear plow mounts on ebay go for over 50 bucks alone! ~Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,957 #3 Posted November 18, 2012 He wouldn't have gotten it that cheap if I was there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOWTIE 226 #4 Posted November 18, 2012 GUYS, I THINK HE WAS A SCRAPPER. MOST OF THE STUFF IN THE AUCTION WAS BEING BOUGHT AS SCRAP METAL 10 OLD CARS,TRANSMISSION CORES AND RUSTY JUNK EVERYWHERE. HE ALSO HAD A LOT OF NICE GUNS, PARTS AND AMMO LOADS. I THOUGHT ABOUT IT BUT I DON'T NEED ANOTHER ROUGH PROJECT. BOWTIE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,934 #6 Posted November 18, 2012 K161 with double pulley and aluminum gas tank? Sounds more like the buyer got a deal on a 701 with the wrong belt cover. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,664 #7 Posted November 18, 2012 K161 with double pulley and aluminum gas tank? Sounds more like the buyer got a deal on a 701 with the wrong belt cover. Exactly what I was thinking. Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #9 Posted November 18, 2012 As I read the description, I don't think it was a 654.. But for the money, I would have bought it for parts or a fixer-upper. :banana-wrench: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
octfst 378 #10 Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) I saw the auction zip pics. it was a 654 & looked rough but could'nt tell what motor it had. sounds like it was a 701 K161 but the tractor was not a 701 it had the 654 style dash & hood Edited November 19, 2012 by octfst Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOWTIE 226 #11 Posted November 19, 2012 HELLO OCTFST, THAT IS NOT THE TRACTOR HE BOUGHT. THE TRACTOR HAD MORE RED PAINT,NO SEAT,LONG CYLINDER TYPE MUFFLER STICKING OUT THE SIDE AND NO PAINT ON THE GAS TANK AT ALL.. I GUESS IT WAS A 701. THE AUTION AD READ A 604 AND 654. THERE WA NO 604 AT ALL. THERE WAS A 1054 THERE BUT NOT IN THE AUCTION. IT LOOKED CORRECT AND ORIGINAL. THEY SHOW PICTURE OF IT IN THE GARAGE.WITH THE BATTERY IN IT. I NOTICED THE PICTURE YOU SHOW IS ADDED AT THE END OF PICTURE SHOW. I THINK SOMEBODY SWAP THE TRACTOR FOR ANOTHER ONE. I WAS EXPECTING A DIFFERENT TRACTOR MYSELF. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY CARED ABOUT THE SWAP NOTHING WAS SAID BY AUCTIONEER. IT WAS GOOD PARTS TRACTOR FOR SURE. I CAN'T BUY THEM ALL AT THE WHEEL HORSE AUCTIONS I GO TO. I WILL TAKE A CAMERA TO THE AUCTIONS FROM NOW ON, JUST LET RED SQUARE MEMBERS KNOW WHAT'S IN OHIO. THANKS BOWTIE IN GAHANNA,OHIO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOWTIE 226 #13 Posted November 19, 2012 HEY HAMMERHEAD, THAT WAS ABOUT 10 MINUTES FROM YOU. IF INTERESTED THE 1054 MAY STILL BE THERE. IT WAS A ESTATE SALE. BOWTIE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
