This is the only thing that the guy would put a price on and I bought it,now what will I do with 2 of these .
Here is a list of a few other items that he has ,and this is just a small list .after I got to his place he was thinking he was going to keep most of it for now .He is the one that called me.So I would not and will not price his items .I told him if he wants to sell anything call me with what he wants for it ,and I will say yes or no . then maybe would make a offer.He has nothing that I can not live with out.Was a super nice guy.Did tell him 2 items that I would not mind having.
Tractor's 1- C with side mower .not running
1 -C with cult ,plater and side dresser,not running
2 - wd's one runs ,one dose not
2 - WD 45 's both run one with loader one with 3 point bush hog
1 - Flat top wc rear steel ,not running
1- D -17 with 80 side mower ,not running
1 B with cult,motor locked
Equipment
2 AC rake's
rear blade
pin hitch plow with cast boards ,for WD
80 R mounts for WD
AC running gear
This is just part of what he has .
I did not check what year anything is ,it is not inportant at this .
Will wait him out for a while,maybe he can sell to some one else.

| It looked like a nice day to go walking around. How much work backed up at the shop? |

He is going to let me know on the AC running gear . Glen was back at shop by 2 pm. Worked on show rest of the day .
This is why it dose not pay ME to go out and buy alot of this stuff and spend days hauling it home .I lose to much money out of the SHOP. Small items I can get it and get out is best for me.

I like the 38 with the cultivator. I wonder if you could do 30 inch rows one at a time with it? I want one of those 3 pt adapters some day too. That Flat top still has the gas line to the starter tank.

Fred: If you're feeling burdened by the extra SC Carry-All, I might be interested in it. Let me know by PM or Email if you're interested in selling it. |

If that was the case, it was worth it, even if you had closed the shop for the WHOLE day and not bought one darn thing!!!
Time spent with people close to you is worth WAY more than any amount of money.

Glenn. Pay close attention to the seat back on this 38. Them square corners are VERY INTERESTING. Could be the "NEEDLE in the HAYSTACK" we been looking for. Above all. Do not mention anything to Fred about Rewards and such things as that. Is that a seat cushion I'm looking at? |

...or it could be a farmer-engineered seat back made from a piece of plywood Ken. It wouldn't be worth anything if you had luck like mine, but I hope you don't. LOL! I also noticed the top on the air cleaner looks different. ------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me! |

| Been wondering about the valve cover oil filler cap on the early Bs. Garys B751 cap had a round top. Not flat and did not say OIL. This one here looks like its the standard flat top. |

Oil filler cap looks like it's rounded on top. Air cleaner top is flat. Thought that was different. My later model C air cleaner has a round top like most of them. ------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me! |

Fred, Whenever you find something I always look. As I said before you and Eldon find the "damdest" things. Not in this case though.
Great find of equipment we sold. Where was this located - MD, PA, or other?
Take good care.
Good luck!

Fred - nice haul! Hey if you are going to get the carrier end points cast I'd possibly be interested in a set too as mine is nice and complete as well except for those cast points.

| I bought a carrier a few years ago at an auction that is missing the points, so I would also be interested in buying a pair. dave |

John - you have to throw Harvey into that mix and make it a trio. The show would be very successful like another famous trio - Larry, Curly & Moe.... LMAO!
