Thats when you just HAVE TO HAVE IT??? Am I sick? Probably, and maybe contagious too.. I know people with cabin cruisers who between mooring, fuel, and winter storage spend twice a year what I've spent in the last year on my collection. So who's sick? LOL
So anyway, I just HAD TO HAVE this parts manual, covers everything from the wonderboy 305 to the Sovereign 7000, and walkers, walk behind mowers Sno-aways, rototillers... as well as every attachment made through the late 70's. WOW
Please note the loose manuals in this next picture, what makes this so much FUN, of course, is that the machines they go to came with them!
They have sat in a barn for 10 years untouched. In going over them everything is nice and tight and feels just like it should, Steering is as tightr as I've seen, BGB, engine, transmission, pto all nice, mower deck seems ready to roll, blades are sort of even sharp. Only thing missing is the pto belt and pto to mower belt. even all four original hood knobs are there, as well as the plastic cover on the front pto. Although the seats have had it, they just look weathered, not worn, and the steering wheels and pedals dont look worn either.
I'm pretty certain if I auctioned off the manual on eBay, I would break even, even after thier fee's.

| Another nice find Larry. Your end of the country seems to be overrun with Simplicitys trying to make a new home at your place. LOL. Dave. |

It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.

| Man I'll tell you, I watched my BIG TEN on CL with all it's accessorie's and attachments and blown head gasket for over a month at $500 on VT CL, and then weeks at $400, and I finally couldn't stand it. The sickle bar's worth most of that. And now it's one of my most faithfull workers and I wont even sell any of the extra's I'm not using. I've been finding nice old large frames with 2-3 attachments for less than $300. As long as I can afford it, I guess I will. |

Be glad you don't live closer, I might have to come over and slap you! I'm still working on two year old deals that will never come to pass! |
