GREAT time of year for bargains on snowblowers!
Original Message Jun 29, 2005 11:33 am

I just got one for a Bolens tractor for under $1 on Ebay. It's 40 minutes from work, so I'll have more invested in the gas to fetch it, than the cost, but won't have to pay shipping. It's a good day

Joe - GREAT score on that snowblower attachment!

Break out the welder & make it fit!

Frank - That ornament is the only snowblower I've snagged in 2 months (the last being a running, electric start Toro S-620 for $15) I'm going through snowblower withdrawl!!

I've been scouring the papers for deals on snowblowers. Deals are present, but my luck has been poor lately. I call up & we can't meet due to their schedule, so they say they will call back & never do. I've been hounding a lady for a 5 year old, 8hp Sears priced at $50, but she just can't seem to find time for me to come over to pick it up - why advertise then?

I did get a 18hp 46" Murray tractor for FREE 2 weeks ago. Guess my luck ain't too bad...

I checked the newspaper classifieds while at work at 5am & found an ad for a free Murray "riding mower". I called at 7am (the guy was up thankfully!) & he told me its fairly clean but doesn't run, & theres a lawn sweeper included, ALL FOR FREE. I tell him I'll pick it up today at his convenience. I get there & much to my surprise, I find a CLEAN Murray 46" garden tractor with an 18hp, twin cylinder Briggs Stratton, new battery, new starter & solenoid, 2 new extra belts, 2 new extra idler pulleys, & a 38" Agri-Fab lawn sweeper. A bad positive battery cable connection was rectified & now she starts & runs 100%! The brakes didn't work due to mounds of mud & grass caked on the brake unit - I cleaned it, adjusted it & we have brakes. The front wheels were wobbly & loose, and it only needed new wheel bearings (a whopping cost of $15 for all four) to tighten up the front. Wadda ya think?

Marty,

You could fall into a cesspool and come out smelling like a bouquet of roses.

That's awsome. You can actually see yourself. I wish I'd run into those kinds of deals and get some dough out of it. NJ seems to me like a state that has all kinds of stuff thrown out and people come get it and fix it up. Tell how much you end up getting for it.
