I am thinking about selling my Danuser F8 post-hole digger. It is an early 1970s model that I bought used from an older man. It has superficial rust, faded paint, a cheater bar welded on top of it to slide a pipe into to force it down on the hard pan clay, welding where the previous owner broke the boom pin holder above the gear box.
Otherise, the drive shaft and pinion have been replaced with the 7577 conversion kit that Danuser sells. The gears in the box are good with no major wear, and I just dug about 400 holes with it over the last few weeks building a 1 1/2 miles of fence. A good set of teeth and point will make that chew up tough ground in 98% of the cases around here.
I am keeping the augers to use on the new one.
I am thinking about selling it to get a new F8 with the down force kit attached and for tax purposes.
What is a fair price for such an auger as described? $1,000?
