I took $30 to an auction...
 

I didnt expect to get much, but got my moneys worth. Payed $10 for the QA-42A snow thrower, $10 for the original frame a k301 and deck, and $10 for the other 2 k301's and 3 point hitch parts. I could of spent another $5 and came home with another truckload of parts. My buddy got a 149 with weights, chains, deck, and blade for $160, it also has the hydraulic lift. Some fresh gas and a jump and we were out mowing with it.

nice haul Tater.....makes for a nice weekend.

Great score, Tater! :beerchug:

Great!
Lucky you. I seldom luck out like that

ole 147

Wow! You should feel guilty!

Nice find. Want to get rid of blower?

Tater.
Super deals! When can I go with you?:biggrin2.gif:

Wow! Nice haul...

You have almost enough parts there to put yourself together an Original.

I was gonna start a new thread about the "deal" I got today...

I bought 10 mower decks (mostly complete), 4 mule drives, 2 sets of plastic covered concrete wheel weights, 2 42" IH front blades (wide frame), a 123, a 124, and a 125 (all non running) the whole package... $200.00

But I think you did a little better than I did today...

Have fun with your new toys.

Looks like you had a great deal, as well, Yosemite Sam. :beerchug:

I did feel like I got a pretty good deal... Usually when I come home from buying something like that I have a hard time setting in the truck while wearing that wooden barrel.

You got a good deal there Yosemite Sam. I didn't know the pile of parts on the pallet was an original, I just wanted the motor that was sitting there. I've been wanting an original and this one is a good start. One axle is broke & second and third gear is out of it. Guess I should of spent another dollar for the crate full of extra parts(rear ends, steering parts, wheels...).

superduty5.9 if the snow thrower doesn't fit a wide frame then I might get rid of it. Anyone know what it fits, or do I need to take some measurements? My 108 isn't here right now.

That thrower will basically fit anything except an original. It'll fit your 108 just fine.

I've been looking around some but can't find parts for the snowthrower. It needs a chain and some parts that turn the top. Everything else seems ok, but I might go through the whole thing. Anyone know where I can get some parts?

The chain is just chain...any good farm/hardware store would have it. If you need the U-joint for the chute rotator, get one from mcmaster-carr. Much better than the original stamped steel U-joint. I wish I could remember the part number....I bought one to put on my thrower. What are you trying to find?

I have the rod that turns the chute? but I'm missing the pieces that go where I marked on the picture. Also might put new bearings and sprockets on, whatever it needs to freshen it up.
