Aldon 4,826 #1 Posted January 29, 2017 Many likely recall the Hunt Brothers tried to corner the silver market to drive up the price. i assure everyone I'm not following this principle in regards to GT14's. LOL Although even I am beginning to think I may have a problem:-) I guess that's the first step to recovery. Hahahhaha i was was busy planning my next project several weeks ago when I habitually jumped on the Forum. And read through the classifieds. Gotta be quick with this group of fans. Lo and behold @SALTYWRIGHT, Russ, had posted his GT14. Having seen his deisel Horse, I took the immediate plunge trusting that even without photos it would be a nice horse. I'm glad I did. I drove up to his house yesterday after dropping off a truly magnificent beast at @fast88pu, Kyle. I managed to gain the good graces of Kyle's wife and she acquiesced to Kyle tagging along with me to help me out at Russ'. This was a boon more than she knew. His help was appreciated. I will note that Russ has a fine collection. And he and his wife are excellent people. A joy meeting them. Her for first time him for the second. I had previously met him at @stevebo, last large meet and greet. It was a lot of driving and did not get to photos as it got dark so here are a few this morning. this makes 4 whole GT14's and I continue to build my 22hp 8 speed GT14 mod. Not to mention I think I may have enough parts to build yet another. so as mentioned, I really am not trying to corner the GT14 market. It is just seems that way. I will very likely need to trim down collection soon. Hahahhaha 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aldon 4,826 #5 Posted January 29, 2017 You know it's bad when you miscount your own herd! 3 whole GT14's, GT22-8 in progress and parts to make 1-2 more. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I told you a long time ago you had contracted a really bad case of "The Disease", but now there is absolutely NO DOUBT in my mind. Nice score, btw. Any of you guys on the East coast thinking about finding a GT 14, better get your act and rear in gear, because the supply is dwindling, if not by the week, at least by the month, courtesy of Mr. Trimble. Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go ahead, I have a GT-14 and you will never corner the market totally; but you will increase the value of mine! Just as long as you don't start hording 953s, that would be a problem! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Pete! Yes, it does have independent valve for 3 point. Kyle ended up with the D250. I don't have time to take on another project so I stepped aside on D250. This GT14 is good to go as is. I may tweek it a bit here and there to make it even more original. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jellyghost 378 #14 Posted January 29, 2017 I am always trying to figure out the wheel Horses I have never seen. In different threads, the GT is mentioned as a dream tractor. This seems like a good thread for the question... What makes GTs cool? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,117 #15 Posted January 29, 2017 I've always heard they're extremely heavy... which makes 'em the perfect for snow removal duty. I would imagine a great platform to mount up an FEL too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With chains on loaded rear tires, 140 pounds of wheel weights and a weight box hanging off the three point hitch it is a beast. 21 minutes ago, AMC RULES said: I would imagine a great platform to mount up an FEL too You got that right! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
