6wheeler 669 #3 Posted May 4, 2013 Is that the one on Smith Auctions ? Someone else has a post on that tractor I think. If you scroll down in this forum you will find it. If that is the one, it is very nice. Could bring big bucks. As far as what you should pay? Well that depends on how much you really want it. Here in Mn. we don't have WH's sitting everywhere like you folks out east do. They tend to bring big money if they are nice. One like that up here would probably bring over $1000.00. But then you have to remember you would need a deck too. You could probably end up spending over $200.00 for one in nice shape as well. So, you may end up with well over $1500.00 for all by the time you are done. Or I could be completely full of it and, it will go cheap. But, I wouldn't bet on it. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtieguy 334 #4 Posted May 4, 2013 I'd say you might as well stop by the bank on the way....and take out a BIG loan!...went to an auction last month that had about 20 gts....they all started higher than I would pay!...never got to bid on any of them....yeah, I'm so tight I sqeeeeeek.....until I buy something for the triplet grandsons!!!!

ericj 1,579 #5 Posted May 4, 2013 like i said in the other thread on this tractor the guy has a pretty steep reserve on this, but it is a nice tractor that has only blown snow all of it's life and who knows may be he will change his mind on sale day and let it go. but none of the figures that i have seen have even come close to his reserve eric j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good Luck Thats the one---just looked at her-- 2 mile from my home. The spindles are shot-- probably from carrying that monster blower. I have 36' and 42 " decks looking for a tractor ,and two single stage blowers that would work. Then sell the big blower. Thanks for the info. Ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
