Taking off from my previous thread on the factory PTO. I went and looked at an overpriced MF12 Hydra Speed. It comes with a NIB light kit, deck, blade, and factory 540 RPM PTO. It apparently runs, but the hood had been munched once and torch straightened, the fuel tank was leaking from rust, and the carb appeared to be off of a John Deere originally. It has the pointy zero's on the amperage gauge but has a standard starter. The homemade concrete rear weights were a nice touch. The $800 price tag is a little much, but that's what we've grown accustomed to around here, people just want stupid money for everything! Pulltilbroke and myself were thinking $500 maybe $600 tops. The current owner won't seperate it, and thinks $800 is reasonable:rolling:.
Pulltilbroke has some pictures of the PTO unit he took for everyone. There was one score though, he spotted a factory Bolens sleeve hitch in the guys parts pile and talked him out of it!
