Gleaner K sells for $9000!

John,
I looked it over real good yesterday. I was not impressed! I didn't know about the sale.
I found several things that were not working/ looked rough. Serial of 39XX makes it an early model. Chain drive for Cyl. Spreader on back had bad bearings.
Thanks for posting this.

Keith,

I didn't get a good look at it. Had to babysit my dad. I did see it before it was sold when I bought my new sprayer a few months back. I was surprised they even took it in. The saesman, Jason, told me that their shop did $13K in work to it.

Being picky, I didn' get that close to it. I'm glad someone else got a look at it. I was overwhelmed by the fact that there was no Case IH at the fair, Steve Miner had a big spot, Tractor Depot didn't show up, Elder retired their toy tractor table, and the whole place was really vacant for a nice day on a Saturday.


Next time you plan on heading up there, just post a message, so we can meet up. My neighbor Mike Duran used to host the entire antique machinery exhibit. He died on Labor Day a few years ago. I've always made the trip. I will next year, as well.
 
John,
We probably have a lot in common.
I now live in Lisbon OH. Worked for 16 1/2 years at Weirton Steel. 5 1/2 at Timken. Have a small farm in Columbiana County.
I am now retired at 57. Rent farm out.

I had a 1970 K, many things different between the 2. 13K in work! 2 bearings in the spinner would have fixed that part. I guess charging high shop rates for labor would run the price up quick.

I too was surprised that Gause Equipment was not at the fair. They are the local dealer at Guilford Lake. Been going there for years.
