7 HP Aquisition
 

Here is my latest addition to the collection. A group of 7 hp tractors: (2.5) Originals, 70, 71, and a 73. Came with 4 CC engines (plus one non-CC), Danco snow thrower, hydraulic lift, several timed decks, and countless other accessories. The pictures show most of what I got. Plus, the O with the deck mounted is a 4 digit: #2456. Some of the pictures are sideways and I can't upright them...

Looks like you will be busy for a while. :beerchug:

Congrats on the haul!

I see some nice projects ahead of you.
Your brother must be drooling seeing those, but he drools anyway hehehehe

Any to part out or all fixers? What part of Illinois?

Cool fleet of cubs!

I'm still looking for an Original three point if you have one to spare. :bigthink:

Yes, yes I sure will! :beerchug:
Thanks!
Yeah, he is a drooler. He also licks windows...but shhh, don't tell. I took his one and only narrow frame (125), so he doesn't have any use for this stuff. :biggrin2:

I'm going to keep the 73 and 4-digit O for sure. I'll take the accessories I want then possibly sell the basic tractors I don't keep.

Most excellent Lance.:beerchug:
So what did the "brother" think?:bigthink: :biggrin2:

Nice score! :beerchug:

The "drooling window licker" thinks well of this haul. :biggrin2:

He's been thinking about this purchase for a while. We "ran the numbers" last week and agreed it was a good deal. Buying out a whole collection like that is a good way to get a deal. Sure, it's chunk of change at once, but if you had to buy all that stuff a piece at a time, it would have been half again more....

Better get the shed finished up Lance!! You need the room! :beerchug:


I see wheel weights...... I didn't know any of them had wheel weights.:bigthink:

I didn't either. It was a nice surprise when we pulled that one out of the shed. Though that machine is the one that gave us the most problems getting it on the trailer.

I would of had to make 3 trips to get everything, since my trailer was so small, but the guy loaded his trailer and followed me to the house.:beerchug:

Congrats on the flock of 7 hp Cubs!:beerchug: You have parts galore now!!:beerchug::beerchug:

Great find gotta love those originals.

That's cool. You were going to get them when we talked before work the other day. Call I need to :callyou:

Those will keep you out of the bar for awhile. :biggrin2:
Nice haul!

That was a nice haul. Are you going to restore the 4 digit O?

Thanks everyone. Yes, this group will definitely keep me busy for awhile. I think I will keep the 4-digit original and restore it. These low ones don't come around too often, so I might as well keep it. :beerchug:

The 73 completes my 6/7 series collection. Now I'll have to go through and bring them all back to their original glory. :biggrin2:

I don't see an 86 with all the other "6" ones that you list yet....

An 86 is part of the 1X8/9 series. He collected the 1X6/7 series. The 73 was the 7hp model in that series.

What he said. The smallest tractor in each series was numbered differently than the rest of the tractors. 73 belongs to 6/7, 72 belongs to 4/5, 71 belongs to 2/3. Who knows why they did it this way. Had they stuck with the numbering, it should have been a 76.
