Flail mower pickup
 

Picked up a Bush Hog GPF50-1 tow behind self-powered flail mower yesterday. CAD found it, sent me an e- about it, I went and got it. Owner said it didn't run, he thought it had carb problems. Yep it had carb problems along with no compression. The Broke + Scattered is getting replaced with a new bullet from Northern Tool. They have a 414cc Powerhouse (CHonda) for $300.00 with a 2 year warranty. Carb alone for the B&S is $140.00. Even though it needs a new engine it was a great deal.:beerchug:

Pics will follow so don't start. :biggrin2:

OK Sam, We'll wait for you.

Nice find, Sam!

Alright Sam, you of all people know that this thread is worthless without pics. :biggrin2:

Congrats Sam but we are waiting on the pics!:biggrin2:

Here Be Da Pics :biggrin2:

The Broke & Scattered is trash and it is getting a new "Powerhouse" AKA Chonda from Northern Tool that CAD was nice enough to pick up and haul to my place on his way to Mt. Airy today that because it started to rain neither of us got to.

That's nice, Sam!

Got the new engine on it today, thing fired up on the second pull. Hope to give it the smoke test tomorrow. :biggrin2:

Wet grass mowed by a flail mower kicks up a nice "vapor trail"! :bigthink:


:biggrin2:


Don't let a little rain stop you!!

:bigeyes:

Hope to hook it behind the 2182 tomorrow and see what it will do. Never had a pull start engine that started as easy as this thing does. If it lasts I'll be one happy camper.:beerchug:
