GREAT time of year for bargains on snowblowers!
Original Message   Jun 29, 2005 3:33 pm
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

Despite the high cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular.

Excellent snag there BontaiJoe!

What happened to Marty? Must have a cold not to have sniffed that one out first.

Here is what $0.99 bought yesterday. Looks to be in pretty good condition. Now I need to find a tractor to power the thing for $0.99

Emmo,

Thanks for posting that! I have experienced some winters where that beauty would have been most welcome.

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.
