My JD 400 that I got from my father had the 3 pt tiller, which I sold 20+ years ago because I’m not a gardener. 😔 Anyway, I’ve got some areas in my lawn that I would like to work up and smooth out. I‘ve been looking around for a model 30 for my 110 and came across a deal that intrigues me. It’s a 1967 112 H with a newer HH100. The seller has used it for the past 4 yrs to blow his driveway. It quit on him this past winter, he replaced points, condenser, plug & wire. It would start for a moment and quit. He’s tired of messing with it.
112 H original rear Firestones with newer chains & 50# cast iron weights, newer front tires with nubbies, working blower, mower deck with good spindles and gauge wheels intact and for the part that interests me, a model 30 tiller with great looking tines, really nice chain guard, the small idler pulley and adjustable top link.
So… if you could get the package for $400 + gas for a 2 1/2 hour round trip… would you?
How much does that replacement HH100 detract from the appeal? I know it detracts from value.
In my mind the weights and tiller are worth the $400.

So… what do you think?? 🤔

I’d already have left!!!!!!👍

Wow, that's a really good deal!!!!!

I’d be there by now! Being a Tecumseh, it’s probably a carb issue.

 

[Kster526]

I wouldn’t even think twice about it being a replacement engine . 112RF’s
are hard to find and especially that reasonable. Did you leave yet🤣

Thanks for your thoughts!
I have not left yet, just got home from work. 😁 The guy is asking $500 but since I don’t “need” another tractor I’m thinking either offer $400 OR just ask if he would part with the tiller. 🤔
Decisions decisions…

That's a heck of a deal even if you have to settle with him on the full $500 with all of those attachments and accessories. The tractor alone I would think would be well worth that. If you haven't gotten on the road by now we'll probably pass the hat around for gas, give you a shove out the door and get you on your way! 😎

^^^^^ 😂🤣😂
I sent my phone number, waiting for him to call.

Even at $500 id be posting pictures of it on my trailer. You can always sell the tractor or whatever you don't want for what paid for it.

 

[tsb3]

The seller must have gone out of town for the holiday weekend, he still has not called. 😕

 

[Kster526]

I’d be bugging him everyday until he responded.

Yes me too, it's definitely a deal well worth going after. We're all pulling for you Tom, good luck, hope it all works out.

I sent another message this evening to see if the seller was still alive… 😁

Update: The seller finally got back to me and I made the drive to go check out the tractor and attachments. The mower was pretty ruff which the pictures didn’t show. Tractor was more of a project then I really want at this time, but, he did agree to sell the tiller to me, so I brought it home. 😁

Nice acquisition there Tom. It looks like it's in good shape overall and a brass tagger to boot.
