A heck of a lot more than $40
Busy bee about $4000 new
About $6000 for a new "hammer" brand
If you've got the 550 3 phase power it would be a steal for $250 and
within easy pick-up distance for you.


I just posted it here for a chuckle - I certainly do not have any
desire to own such a machine. I do miss the live auctions, though -
where a person can check-out the interesting stuff ....
Do you think this could be easily re-powered with a large
230 volt motor ? ... again - just curious.

For sure - and some of our "dave martin" friends up
Wallenstein/Yatton/Linwood way would run it on a jackshaft off a
diesel too.



There's whats-left of a '29 Durant in the fenceline back home -
was used to power a buzz-saw when I was a kid.

When my dad was a youngster their tractor was an old Buick touring
car with a Leyland truck transmission and rear axle grafted on the
back with an old Star engine across the back for ballast and belt
power (A star was a 4 cyl Durant)
