I picked up 4 25# suitcase weights and 5 20# for $150.00

While the owner and I where loading them he asked if I was into tractor pulling and I said no GT's are just a hobby (addiction) of mine. So... he said he had something he had listed on a different tractor forum and no one was interested.

Well I followed him around back, I see a MF12H sitting there, he said no one wanted it and he was going to scrap it!!! I asked how much he would want and he said $75.00. :dancingbanana:

It has everything except the engine, it even has everything for the rear lift. just missing the main hoop. Tire chains and even has the seat!

Then he said he had some more stuff he had listed for $25 each on the Other tractor forum with no bites.

So we proceded around yet another corner, there I saw a snow blower and a mower deck (in great condition) for the Jacobsen chiefs (36" timing belt deck, and single stage blower).

I was in to much shock to get pics and I had to get off to work, but I am going to be going over to at least pay him tomorrow before work. I will get pics then.

What a great guy he was too! Beautiful place and Lots of great equipment and GT's!

His name is Stephen and I told him how great our site and the members are, so hopefully he'll be along to join us.

Is this it, Chris?

If it needs parts, http://gardentractortalk.com/forums/topic/31583-mf12h-parts/

Everything is "cheap plus shipping". Strong stress the CHEAP part.

:tapping_fingers: :wewantpics: icsoritsnotyours: :deadhorse:

Anyways, ..now that it is out of my system, looking fowards, sounds like you got a whopper deal :thumbs:

 

[UncleWillie]

Sounds like a good deal.

 

[Texas Deere and Horse]

Great deal Chris, :dancingbanana: I know you couldn't pass that up. Sounds like a great place to have an in at. :thumbs:

 

[wvbuzzmaster]

Heck of a deal Chris. And with any luck your MF12H could win ugly tractor of the month like the one I bought out of the scrap yard and sod to Alan lol.

 

[superaben]

Sounds like a place I should stay away from. :wave:

I think you stole that Massey.

[wvbuzzmaster]

You think that was a steal, you should see the wheel weights I kept off the Scrap Massey I sold Alan for at the same price I rescued it for LOL. Of course I did deliver the Scrap Massey to him at plow day lol.

PS, don't kill me for the partial hijack, I do think you did better than Alan lol.

 

[JDBrian]

Nice catch Chris. It shouldn't be too hard to find an engine for that 12.

 

[KennyP]

Great score there, Chris!

 

[IamSherwood]

If you find you need some parts, once you start wrenching it, give me a

buzz. I have several carcasses sitting around.

 

[Titus]

Well look who has all the luck lately! Good for you! So how much room do you have left now? LOL

 

[chris m]

I just made it to work on time today LOL.

I had to bring it along as I didn't have time to drop it off at my Dads.

I am at work and my connection is weak. I will upload the rest of the pics when I get home tonight.

Stephen gave me a set of Cat 0 3 point arms and 2 starter generators also, he said he hasn't got to the back of his shed yet so there may be more goodies yet :dancingbanana:

 

[IamSherwood]

Tin looks good, and she's not overly rusty. :thumbs:

Looks like the steering wheel center is missing.

I know who makes nice aluminum ones. :smilewink:

 

[chris m]

The rest of the pics, The deck and blower are for the Jacobsen 800, the 3 point arms are sears I think? And the S/G's are from?? Orange was prob off his Jac as I don't think he cares for S/G's to much.

So this makes 2 MF12H's that I have, Not sure what I will do yet?? I might get this running to use as a worker for now? Since I have a deck and blower already.

I do know that the Bush Hog JBII will get most of the funds right now.
