Well, I saved some money today. The longtimeneighbor who passed away had his sale this weekend (tomorrow too...).
His 730 gas was a RC w/roll-a-matic, 16.9x34 standard wheels, and fenders. It had the rockshaft, but no arms. That's it. No 3pt, no dual hyd or weights. It did have good working P/S, but needed manifold gaskets and front tires. Rears were decent but the long bar/short bar design I don't like on a tractor that age. Ran good though. I had the bid for several minutes at $2200.00, and was just about ready to have my 4h 730, when someone decided that that was too low for a 730 to sell. It ended up bringing $2800.00.
I was really only interested in it because it was sold by the local dealer and had never left the county. I think the neighbor was the second owner. He used it as is planter tractor for a LOT of years, pulling a 6 row 7000 planter. He had a 38 sickle mower for it too.
The LA ran well and looked like an older repaint. It sold for $1750.00. It had one new rear tire and the other one was 90%.
The guy that bought the LA drove it away with a smile on his face. I did buy the F145 4-14 semi-mounted plow with a black JD cast cylinder for $150.00. His BW disc was in nice shape with cone blades and brought $800.00.
Sorry, I was too distracted to take pics... If it's still there tomorrow, I'll snap a pic of the 730.
