Re: 54" blade with 220
The one I bought a few years ago the guy wanted $130. I tried to get him down to $100. He was firm at $110. Then after I loaded it I noticed no lift arm. I asked if he had one. He said he bought one new. He got it and it looked pristine. I shook his hand and said thanks. He pulled the lift arm away and said $20 more for the lift arm. So I paid him and left. He also had an old 60” deck that he said give me $50 and it’s yours. I didn’t have the extra $50 so I told him I would give him a call back and pay him when I pick it up. Well winter came and went so in the spring I called and went over to get the 60” deck. Were looking at the deck which was outside under a tarp. He says it’s now $150. I said why the extra $100? He says inflation. I told him that the 60” deck had been modified by someone to fit on the back of a GT with a 3pt. He had no idea. I also told him as I looked under it there were no blades on it. I said you never used it right. He agreed and said when he purchased his 448, the guy told him to take the deck. I held $50 out to him and said thats all it’s worth. He says oh no it’s worth over $200. I said not to me and walked away. I’ll bet it’s still setting in his backyard full of mouse nests. Harry

Re: 54" blade with 220
Sounds like you came across a real gem of a guy to deal with! I say good on you for walking away from that deck, and I have no doubt your right, its still sitting in the same spot where you saw it. I bought mine at that farm auction where I got the 446 and Herbie the truck. At the time I felt like $130 was the upper limit, but since then I’ve felt like it was a pretty good price since it seems like the blade spent most of its life sitting in a barn and used very little.Harry wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 7:30 pm The one I bought a few years ago the guy wanted $130.

Re: 54" blade with 220
That was the story of the blade for mine. I bought and sold it for $100 but it was a fabricated unit, not Case. If I have to move dirt, I find a Brinly box scraper works better than a front blade. Snow? Snowcaster.

Re: 54" blade with 220
Well I got him down to 300, so I think I'm gonna bite. Even if I find another, I doubt they're selling full assembly for less than 250, so what's 50 bucks.

I always say, get that if it's worth it for you. Chasing the lowest price is akin to gambling.
