I can't find it in my sales notes, but I believe I would charge $250 for one thats complete (includes hoop) and turns freely. I believe the last one I had that was seized up still sold for $150, and it had the hoop as well. Shipping would be a bit too since you can't get it into a Flat-Rate Box. If I was in need of one to keep, I would strongly consider buying this one you found. [Reply]  [No Email]

Plus I found a working one out of a 1650 for $600. I would have more than that in parts just to update and rebuild mine. [Reply]  [No Email]

A good complete runner is only worth about $2500. Why not take apart the hydra power you have first to find out what's wrong before spending $600. It won't cost you anything and you need to pull it anyways. And if you don't need a top link right away, just keep tabs on ebay. Except for the U, you can buy the rest brand new and complete for $180. Call rock valley tractor parts and see what they get for one. You can dicker with those guys...and use the fact that new parts are $180 to negotiate a better price for used. [Reply]  [No Email]

I would pull the cover off and check into the condition of the splines and the low range output gear. We did a 1650 gas for a man last winter and those splines were almost sharp enough to shave with.Also the heady duty replacement gear and shaft are NLA. There are also updates to those covers. More questions? [Reply]  [No Email]
