I suppose we are fortunate in the Albany and surrounding area, because they were made here, lots of them around. Often times I find them listed in craigslist for a few hundred, running and not running etc. I looked around for years, then kept on craigslist for about a year, finally was able to be the first caller, other times I missed deals, they sell quick. I was out sick that day, darned almost flat on my back, neck or back or something not good, but knew I had to get off my butt and get this done.
Was hardly used, 25-30 years old, always stored in a dry garage, not a speck of rust where the paint wore off from the soil abrasion, got it for $310.00 delivered to my house. Just needed to adjust reverse, oil was clean, I changed er anyway, has the 7HP Kohler, starts on 1 pull, runs great, you don't even need full throttle, 1/4- 1/2 does the job, tines were hardly worn, ( though I have a new set, OEM too)
Great thing about them is that they sell, you find em off season and fix em up like Hal mentioned above, you will double your money, I could have re-sold this one immediately for 2x what I paid, the guy had 3 calls while I was there !!!

These are tough, not the easiest to operate in hard rocky soils, rocks will make em lurch forward real hard it is best to get that moldboard in there initially, establish your area, then let that troy bilt do its thing, once that soil is loose, no problem at all, if your soils are sandy loam, or similar, should work well from the get go, all of this you are probably well aware of anyway, I like talking about these, sure was nice when they were made here, just over the hill and down the valley !

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible.
