Awesome $50.00 auction find!

[Hammerhead 817]

While I was at the Mt. Gilead Farm Days Show, I hung out at the farm auction most of the day. I didn't get any of the 4 WH's that were there for sale, 3 square hoods and one black hood, but I did get a bad sunburn from waiting around for hours! I also was the only bidder(except the owner was bidding it up to $50.00, how's that work?!) on this pretty rare mid mount grader blade for a Toro Wheel Horse. I won it pretty quickly and wasn't about to let this get away. The seller had 2 side mount sickle bar mowers for sale too, one fit a C Series and was a huge heavy set up. It went for a measely $125.00 for crikey sakes! The other sickle bar was an older unit but nice and it went for $125 also! Dang, I shoulda bid on one of them. So I got the grader blade for $50 and was happy. I took it home and tried to mount it on my 310-8 speed machine but the lift brackets didn't line up for some reason. I'll have to figure out how it will fit on the lift bracket. It also came with the rear axle quick attach set up! Not too bad for a few hours in the heat!...KJ

What is the model and serial on the grader blade?

So...did the tractors sell for low money too?

 Hey, it won't fit, don't try to butcher it. I'll reimburse you the $50.00 plus gas and I'll pay for shipping, it needs to go on my 518xi. That's what it was made for.

Great deal!

Thanks guys! The model Number is 79351 and Serial Number is 9900125. Any info you can provide will be helpful. The tractors all sold for about $200 for a black hood C-145 and $275 for a C125 hydro and $250 for a C120 both had decks with them and in good shape. I like the older models so I didn't bid on them. I did bid on the black hood but quit at $175 and the next bid won it at $200. It had a blown head gasket from what we noticed about it but in great shape otherwise. Thank You,  KJ

79351 replaced 07-50BM01, 07-50BM02 and 07-50BM03

 

That is the correct one for the C-Series and 300, 400 and 500-Series.

 

The frame is too short for the 5xi-Series.

That lift bar connects correctly on your rock shaft...it connects up quite high, but it will work. Great buy!

WOW, for $50 and a sun-burn you got a good deal!

Very nice looking mid-mount grader.

I had to take the lift link for the mower deck off to make things work right.

One of the best $50 deals you could ask for!

You really do not have to remove anything, it is a pain, but it fits with everything on. That being said, if it is easier to remove the mower lift lever......then that may be an easy solution.
