Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Is it me or is there a lot of Case GTs for sale these days ? I see a lot come up on market place , some I have up loaded when I can . I think it is great that the projects and parts are being offered up instead of going for scrap . The "turn key" one seam to be going for a lot more $$ these days , I think that is in part to a shortage in small tractors which all made over seas now and an exodus to the rural areas by city slickers . I seen property prices here double and triple going into bidding wars and not lasting on the market for more than a week .
My ramblings for today

Holidays coming up, some people need $$$, others need presents

I noticed that too Dave. But this guy can't buy no more for a while. I need to clean the 446 up and let it go to a good home.

There does seem to be a lot of sale lately, some better deals than others. I've been enticed to look at some of the better deals, but figure it would be better to get running what I already have around. I'm working on the 444-winter project and have the 226 that I bartered a self-propelled Honda for. It ran but the tranny had seen better days and it was too heavy to just push it.

I did go look at a 195 that sounded promising, but after checking it out the guy had repowered with a Kohler 18hp engine and had cut the frame to make it longer to make it fit. The fabrication was done poorly so I decided not to buy it.

I mostly buy for my own use, but the 226 maybe a different situation. It does have a B48 Onan in it, so I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Keep the Peace

GUYS
I've been spotting tractors for years and years
I see this every year just when Fall starts, no one needs there tractor till Spring maybe they need the room hell who knows what PO's are thinking
I think when the ones are gone to a new home it will be hard to find any CCI Tractor for a fair price
just the resellers will be offering deals and they want the BIG BUCKS, just my 2cents
