[quote="ronm"]Hey Kelly,
Well, she brought $1900...sold about 5:30...they tried again to start the pony, & finally sold it dead. Looked like a young guy & maybe his Grandpa bought it.
Strange though, when I left & went by out on the road, they had the pony running, & it sounded healthy...makes a guy wonder, huh? Did Grandpa just know how to start it, or did he know how to keep anybody else from gettin' it to run?
Those 3 dudes that were trying this morning just about wore out the rope...:biggrin1:[/quote]
Ron, late on the reply, had company last night and this morning.
I think I meet them both, there were looking that old D4 over pretty close, as well as ask me a few questions about a 46A they are working on just before you showed up.
You could be right on your assumption on getting it started they both seemed to be machinery wise, I never give that a thought. I still think it showed as doing a lot of D8 dozer work, well wore. But, it had elec. start [attachment=34265]Ele_start auction sale.jpg[/attachment] LOL!
I got there about noon today and stayed till they sold the starting engine for the D7…..which sold for $1.00 (one dollar).[attachment=34266]D7 starting engine auction..jpg[/attachment]I visited with Max he was over at the Antiques, so I got out of there before they sold me. LOL!
Catch you later.

That starting engine pictured is off a early style block with the gear driven fan. Not very many over here and probably a sought after item in the USA. A true bargain . These engines although they look similar will not fit 7M 3T 4T or later 1H or 8R.
I am envious of your purchase. Dont loose the magneto coupling.

How do you tell it's for a gear driven fan only from the picture?
What is it that limits the fit?

Hey Team,
I'll give the lucky high bidder 200% profit, with $3.00 total. Let me know...

Yeah, too bad I wasn't able to be there Sunday, had to burn ditch & get ready for water, plus a bunch of honeydo's...probably some good parts on that pony.
There's a local scrap guy that's always circling like a vulture, & he has no heart at all...he'll cut up anything to make a load. So it's probably history...
That would be a shame if that is the fate for this engine.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
