Jeff Polk bought most of the Bob Smythe collection in Portland Oregon last year and hauled them to Ind. He had over 100 of them under roof in May of 2010. I bought a Bo handstart, and a BO electric start. On his Labor Day sale , he sold a couple of the rarest, and a few others. These 40 are probably...

Deere stock hit $90 today!

Jon, I have one off a 420C. Rockshaft, links, drawbar etc. Will price it with or without a toplink. PM me.

Only problem is Ronnie is 500 miles away and you are 4 times that. Plus I heard a rumor that there are a whole bunch of them in Northern Indiana.

I've consigned a nice BO Lindeman to the RJO auction in Carrollton Georgia the saturday affter Thanksgiving (27th). Think you and Randy owned it at one time. Replaced it in my collection with an electric start. Pat

Lavoy, You were right. Water worked! The whole story is I had a rockshaft that was rust welded internally. Had sat for a long time on a 440IC. Cylinder would not budge it even with the help of a 20 ton jack. Let it soak in diesel fuel for days, and still no movement. Did not really want to drive the...

I have a toolbar and the integral lift cylinders, still attached to a junker MC. The biggest problem is the time to take it apart and the weight as far as shipping goes. Where are you located?

BO Lindeman's, MC's, 420c, 430c, 440c. Sold the 40.

OK Lavoy. I have to show my ignorance. What is a GSG-5SD? Also, You are still welcome to come down and shoot my m-14. I'm only about 1800 miles southeast of you! And bring the trencher. Pat

Could'nt get a definite answer from even the decal makers, much less finding a good original photo, so went to Ted at Lindeman archives. Can't find one in a photo cause there wasn't one. BO Lindemans had No BO decal or silk screen. Only the wheeled tractors, so they usually come in the decal set. Ho...

Can't find a good picture to show where the John Deere BO goes on a Lindeman. Guess they didn't take many pics of the rear end! K&K's directions just say "on rear end and left of steering support". Leaves a lot of room for questions! Any one have an original that still shows up?

Great video. Would like to have one, but it would get tore up by hidden stumps down here! Would be great for septic tank drain fields. Pat

The sale bill has a bunch of BO Lindemans, MC"s, and 420C's on it.

I've heard there will be over 600 tractors this year. Can't hardly get anymore stuff on the yard!

I'm taking a 3 point to Polks' Labor day sale. Rock shaft will fit 40c, 420c, 430c and 440c. Will be a complete 3 point except for cylinder and drawbar. Top link will sell separately. Pat
