G6200 found it bought it

[tractorslave]

Hey gang,
Whats your opinion of the g6200 I bought today?
I am attaching 2 pictures of it.
The price was 250.00 'cause I know you will be curious.
I did get it running after some filters and cleaning the fuel tank.

I think it's got more HP than me B6200 18 Vs 15 (could that be right)?

It looks a little rough, but if it runs and drives, you can pretty up the rest. $250 was a steal!

250 bucks was a helluva deal. Found one on Tractor House and they are asking almost 3 grand for it.

Nice score! A diamond in the rough.

A little rough around the edges, but that should clean up well. and $250!! you should see some of the junk i've dragged home that cost more than that. The potential is outstanding. if it does run out well for a few Hrs, it will deserve 4 new shoes and a buff and wax on the tins. Maybe even pull 'em off and spray the chassis when buffing the tins. the color may not come all the way back, but with fresh spray on the rest will make contrast , would make color pop.

Good snag.

P.S., I would have done it!!

I just looked at the link Eric added, if you cleaned yours up right, it could look better than that one. A little paint, elbow grease and a thoughtful plan, a real winner. The one in the add wasn't even cleaned up!! And $3K, really??? WoW


Man my fingers are longwinded tonight

The paint doesnt look to bad on it. Just has a ton of mold and gunk all over it. Nothing some bleach and a little elbow grease wont clean up!

Well,
I thank you for the encouraging words.

I can't BELIEVE how different the 2 pictures look, left v.s. right, that I took.
I think the bad looking one is the more realistic to the tractor.

I think it will be aint, Tires, Belts, Mow.

It was going to be a donor for re-powering my case 644, (picture attached).

It didn't take me long to realize I was going to keep it orange!

I will update with progress pictures next week.

OK guys,
Picture updates:
I bought a new battery, PTO belts, (they were cheaper than the big box store at the dealer), a few rattle cans of paint, and 2 tires also cheaper at the dealer by 11.00 each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the dealer is this nice guy who is local.!!
OK enjoy the pics
