    Some Great Finds Kubota B7100 and More

    Here goes my credit card again, this Kubota B7100 for $2500.00, 3 point hitch with a PTO front and rear heated cab too good to pass up on.

    Eight brand new 200 amp welder generator, never had electrolyte in the battery's or fired up take one at $800.00 or all at $500.00 each, the jury is still out on this deal. I'm thinking of taking a pass.

    The RV trailer park that used to give me the abandoned trailers has one for e and the guy with the Kubota has a pair for me to haul away.

    In-between all these exciting finds I actually found time to visit friends in the Okanagan, my buddy in Hedley offered me a Bridgport dual head tracing mill for 5 G's which has been professionally converted over to CNC. Told him to see how he felt about selling it after the summer was over, just a nice way of saying I don;t have the cash.

    My daughter in Penticton went camping for the weekend but was able to leave the Cambo 8 x 10 large format camera, Sony Alpha A-900 full frame 35mm digital and an Epson photo scanner with her employer. She'll have a pleasant surprise waiting for her when she returns to work on Tuesday.



    My daughter is apprenticing to become a professional photographer, her employer is hinting that he would like to retire soon. In other words buy the business for my daughter.

    So far being back home in BC has been a blast.

    Kz this yard belongs to the father of the fellow who ran a auto repair shop in Hope,he recently retired fro the shop putting his 91 year old father in a care home. The father was a hoarder ( auction junkie ) Lyle is selling whatever will sell then sending everything else to the scrap yard. He offered me a 50/50 deal, but I took a pass.

    Some interesting stuff from the sheds, WWII generators with Onan engines, Simplicity walk behind tractors and attachments, old porta power rams did not see any power packs for these. Nice Black and Decker gear drive saw which is about the only thing I would have bought if I were not myself now retired with other plans for my future.

    Also what I said about the above welder/power generators I found through research are only 7000 watt generators with Chinese Yanmar clone engines, the problem with the clones and many other things coming out of China is that there so may small factories producing the same clone and quality control and ISO certification is not the same for every factory.

    They don't package a spare set of piston rings and rod bearings without reason.

    Lyle told me these were welders, he is clueless and don't know what he is trying to sell which leads me to believe I should be very cautious in my thinking about the Kubota tractor. From google I have seen this tractor has sold for as little as 2G's so in my funny money that would be $2500.00 no wiggle room.
