This morning I answered an ad on CL for a dump trailer. When the gal called she has some other stuff for sale and we agreed to meet at 5pm. SO I trundled up there and took a peek. SHe had the dump trailer ( no idea the brand) a 50 gallon water tank, 2 work benches, and a huge rubber mat listed on CL. After looking around the building there was a newish Husquvarna tractor with 1/4 inch of dust on it. I asked her about it and she said her ex husband left it and it has to go. He has taken some parts off of it for another on he had. I asked her the price and she said $25. Has brand new tires and a perfect seat. SO I offered her $150 for the tractor, cart, tank, mat, and bagger for the tractor. Loaded it up and brought it home. Unfortunately I had only enough time to cover it up to keep the rain off of the open engine and no time for pictures. The bagger has no bags the cover is off teh engine and that is all I know about it at this point other than it is a vtwin briggs. I couldn't find any numbers on it. Will try to post pics tomorrow. IF I can get it running it may replace the Poulan Hemorrhoid or at least help it rest up some.
Turned teh key and it actually turned over even with the nearly dead battery. It is missing a couple of plastic pieces off the engine and the bolts for the hood. I am hoping it will actually start after I get the battery charged.
I think you got a good score. The Husqvarna looks to be in good shape other then being dusty and the couple of plastic covers you are missing. Congrats on the new to you stuff.
After the battery charged I put some fuel in it and gave it a try. It backfired and belched out some really nasty grayish black stuff so at a minimum I need to clean out the carb to see what is growing in there.
If you're happy and she's happy that's what matters. $$ What a deal. They ask what you paid for all of it just for the mat around here. Good find.
