farm auction of old guy's stuff - plenty of old iron

https://www.bullseyeauctions.com/auctions/detail/bw120157

Thought people here might be interested in this, sorry for the short notice, I forgot about the auction until I was e-mailed by the auction house tonight. Though I am really tempted to buy some stuff just for parts, but, I already have enough carcasses laying around.

A lot of the older iron (wheel horse - power king) you guys look for when going off road that needs hefty parts. No hydros in this bunch :-D

A few of the items listed used the T-92 transmission. Which I gather is a sought after shaft drive transmission still being made.

I am not selling it, so, I didn't know where else to put the thread since it is only good for 24 hours.

I guess the heirs have no use for "all gear drive" tractors.

I just googled that transmission (The site calls it the BT-92 for anyone else looking) and that is actually a really good consideration for any future projects, kinda insane that they still make that.

That’s interesting, I just realized I saw one of those behind an 18hp vanguard for a few hundred bucks on marketplace a while back.

I have been looking for those with older transmission that are shaft driven, now that I don't have the room or money to really spend, three of them are available :-D

My thing is not the transmission itself, it is having access to the housing and clutch discs that fit it aka the system. The smallest automotive transmission and clutch set up is usually way bigger then anything you would want in a 25 HP or under lawn or garden tractor. Then you have to attach it to a B&S since almost none of the auto transmissions are shaft driven.

The Economy tractor looks interesting too.

Wow thats a lot of stuff.

Yes, a lot of cool stuff. The old garden tractors have not even hit $100. I bet there is stuff in the field edges not even accounted for because it is too hard to clear around it. My main thing is only having a 4 hour window for removal on a Friday. For me, that makes it impossible to bid on multiple big items because my large pickup to pull my 20 foot trailer is still being repaired. It can take a hour just to winch or move some larger items because they have no help with a forklift or skid steer to load.

Wow. And that wheel horse is a belt drive right? Guess that's the difference in value.

The wheel horse is also probably 800lbs lighter than either of those other tractors, lol

I think the shaft drive BW T-92 is the main difference in value. Probably only two real bidders and each got his wanted tractor. If I had been able to actually get them home, the prices would have been higher on all three.

The wheel horse going by tractor data, is at least 400# lighter then the other two mowers. Which are more towards garden tractors vs. lawn tractors.
