I went back to the place that's going to sell all of those parts and tractors I posted about and talked to the man's grandson who I found out is setting the prices for stuff and they aren't going to move much at his prices. I did wind up buying a radiator and 4 tires. He has a Ford sickle mower I asked about but I got to wondering are parts available for those any more? From pictures I've seen it looks like maybe a 501 but not sure. What would one be worth not knowing if it works or not? He wants me to make him an offer but I don't have a clue. On the big round frame part under it that attaches to the lift arm has been welded. What do you guys think about it? He had a 6' gray bush hog he wanted $375.00 that you can see the shear bolt in the hole where it broke. I showed it to him and the 2 bars going from the 3 point back were broke and welded and a bolt missing where the gearbox mounts. I said someone hit something hard do you know it even works is the gear box good? He said he would check it. He said he had it sold for $375 but the guy backed out and found another one. I thought gee I wonder why? I'm going back tomorrow to get my tires. I have to take them off of the rims he thought those were gold plated spinners or something. I'd like to know more about the 501 to make an offer. Thanks for your help and I'll keep you all posted as to when they wake up and get right on the stuff.
