Fella in Altoona is advertising 2 Haban Sickle-Mos.
One for the tube frames and one for the large frames.

I D/Led the pic, turned it right side up, and zoomed in as far as I could before it got too pixelated.
It's almost perfectly round all the way around. I think it's a roller, or a gas cylinder of some sort.

To end this debate as well, I sent the guy a message asking what else he's got in the photo that he might want to sell. I said I see a snow blower and what looks like a flail mower, or is that just a lawn roller or something? We'll see what he says...

"Give me a call! I have most of those available, flail mower, wheel weights, snowblowers, mower decks, etc..."

Anyone looking for any of this kind of stuff? Also, what are good prices on some of these?

They are 'stand alone' impliments. They mount in the same place as the mower deck.
They are not for finish mowing. They give a very rough cut, and are good for tall weeds/grass/hay. They are also good for mowing on banks, in ditches, etc. With them being off to the side they are good for trimming under low laying trees, and shrubbery as well.
Here's a pic of a ditch I use mine on, and a few pics of the north yard that got REAL high and I decided to use the Sickle-Mo on it just for grins and giggles. You can see that it's not a 'great' cutting jub. It just knocks it down. Also, here's a pic showing one mounted on my G10, just so you can see how they are mounted

He's the 'kid' that has listed a lot of stuff before. The one that lives in Pa and drives over into OH somewhere for college.
He seems to think that his stuff is worth more than it is.
The Flail-Mo needs a LOT of work, and he want's $300.00 for it.
He also has a G11, with the front end 'broken' off, and he said he'd like $300.00 for it as well.
I passed.

I didn't know if I should post a separate topic on this as well, but I was cruising around CL locally and come across this that I found interesting:

http://albany.craigs...3110728766.html
He wants to trade it for stuff, but I don't have anything he wants in trade, so I asked what he wants for it straight up in cash. He told me he wants $700, which I thought was about $500 too much for this, especially since it is so small. I'd think of spending $700 for the trac-vac that you have Old Buzzard, with the huge trailer and the separate leaf vac tube. But this is a VERY small vacuum and the guy doesn't even want it because it is so small and he has to empty it a lot for his yard. But IDK if I should counter-offer with a reasonable price or if it is a lost cause. Or is $500-$700 a good deal for this?
The other thing is I found a couple of Bolens Tillers for sale on CL for around $150-$200. IDK if they are the model of tiller he says he is looking for to trade, but it would be cheaper to buy a tiller from someone else and trade him for the vac!!!

Shucks, mine isn't worth that. I got mine for $800.00, but it also came with a sleeve hitch, AND a 1256.
