That sure is a nice one and it looks well kept. It looks like it really will move some snow. I found a picture of a sweepster brochure that gives the weight of one and it said #223 shipping weight even though it is a John Deere brochure the weight shouldn't be any different

| Thanks! The early Deere hitch setup is very different, and bulky. I'm betting this hitch is a fuzz lighter...BUT, the hood on mine is steel and the hood on that Deere broom was fiberglass. I'm betting the two differences offset each other, and I'd pull a freight quote for 225# if & when the day comes. |

| I'd say your right about the weight, those deere hitch set ups on the sweepsters do look kind of bulky and I think they used hydraulics on those but I may be wrong. The metal hoods look nice and sturdy although it seems like more were made with fiberglass hoods, and I will have to remember #225 for the weight on that |

| The early Deere brooms were fixed angle, for the 100's. They did make a power angle variety probably around '70, for the 140's, then carried those on for subsequent 300's/400's, etc. I had one of those when I was 140 H3 shopping, but never found a tractor. Sold the broom, and found the 140 H3 =[ Those hydro angle Deere brooms sell fast, and there are lots of them out there. |

| That's usually how it goes find the attachment look for the tractor sell the attachment find the tractor. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be quite as many of the brooms available for the Allis Chalmers and Simplicity machines compared to what's available for the other brands. |
