Why, jiss hitch it to an ATV, haul away back down through the mud, right to the tree....oh wait, overkill, use the riding lawn mower "tractor".

OH MY!!!!
Should be in a thread called "What were they thinking"

Too bad it's not near me, the LUC motor is worth quite a bit, by itself...

[MechanicMatt]

Wow

 

[cutforfun]

Looks heavy but I would buy it if its was around here. It has a lot of potential

 

[motoman3b]

Looks heavy but I highly doubt 7k pounds! maybe 2 or 3k

 

[aarolar]

I know it looks funny but as long as the welds are kosher that hitch will pull that wherever you want I do agree it would look way better with a pentle hitch though.

You better look again, LOL
14' beam with 1 13/16" Thick flanges has to be at least 250Lb to the foot. Times 12' that's 3000 Lbs just in the beam.

Wonder what the specs of that pump are? I found it in a search for Rockford.

 

[lone wolf]

I wouldn't want to move that around on rough ground or mud.

 

[Joesell]

That's a lot of splitter for the money. I'll bet you could get him down to $500 too!

Just what is the LUC motor?

 

[troylee]

Two cylinder engine that was the backbone of the JD lineup. Crank start and it has a distinctive idle

 

[Sawyer Rob]

Actually, the LUC was what powered many of the old deere combines of the day, that's where the "C" comes from, it's a inline 2 cyl, flat head design.

The same motor configured in other ways was the LUS, LUK ect... Each was made for a purpose. It also powered one of there early tractors and that's where the "L" comes from. They were made in both, crank and electric start.

BTW, they have 10 to 12 HP, depending where you measure it...

I called my cousin, the john deere tractor restoring freak last night and told him about it. He called me back and said it was sold already. He said the motor was easily worth that price even not running to some of these restoring guys.

 

[troylee]

Would have been mine, if I had the equipment to go get it. I saw the ad in the first hr.

 

[farmerboybill]

It apparently didn't sell. Here's the relisted link - http://madison.craigslist.org/grd/4731804376.html
