Some Horses sneak into the Weekend of Green

[dtallon 320]

I made the trip up to Wisconsin for the Weekend of Freedom Machines show last weekend.  I can't deny I like more than just red tractors, and this was by far the biggest garden tractor display I have ever seen.  Despite being an "All Green" show, a few horses managed to sneak into the swap meet area. 

 

654 and 552 (I think)

 

875

 

sickle mower

 

 

Good comparison of the older style front axle and mount and the newer style

 

 

Good comparison of the "short" round hood and the longer (replacement in this case) round hood.  Notice no indentation for the decal on the (red) replacement hood, and the mounting tab on bottom is even with rear edge and reinforced vs the middle of the bottom on the rustier hood.  

 

 

 

Despite being strongly tempted, no new purchases found their way home with me.

What were they asking for those 2 round hoods???  Just curious...they look in good shape.    Thanks for sharing the pictures.

How could you resist?

I didn't get a chance to ask on the round hoods.  The 875 and the sickle intrigued me a little and I did talk to him about those.  The 875 ran and he was asking $400.  I don't know much about the sickles, but he said it was for a long frame tractor.  He wanted $275 for it.  I was talking to him about a Gravely L he had when a couple guys came up that looked more serious about buying something than I was, so I let him go talk to them and moved on.  I didn't make it back over there to ask about the round hoods.
