Dad had to work today so I went to the sale to bid on it for him. 1967 Simplicity 707 Broadmoor. Its all original. Need to get a new battery for it. Came with the orginal manual, bill of sale, and bill for added on Simplicity head lights. How much you think we gave?

Oh come on now. Obviously you paid nothing, I can tell computer generated images when I see them.
I would guess you paid less than the bill for the headlight kit.
So, was it stored in a pressure tank filled with nitrogen or some other inert gas? Thats amazing. :) |

Hermetically sealed envelope.
Did you bid on a tractor or those photos of a brand new tractor. |

No, the shadows and shading are right, the first thing that gets fowled photoediting, then fuzzy or irregular edges. The picture reminds me of some of the staged pics Phil did with his precision die cast tractors, or the high oblique pic Wes took of his loader when it was first done. He wouldn't say but he had to have been standing on a truck or something.
Awesom score by the way, Yeo has kindled an interst in this class tractor for me. They're pretty neat. I decided a while back I wanted to add an old Broadmoor with a vertical S/G to my collection. A 727 maybe? 737? your 707 would sure do. LOL |
