Dave51B Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I was just checking some tractor for sale adds, and saw a pulling tractor for sale with a decent looking anvil for a front weight. If I only lived in Wisconsin......oh well Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxFire Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 There was a Power King for sale near me with either a (I forget which) Fisher or Vulcan mounted as a rear weight. They ran a bolt down through the center of the anvil to bolt it to the draw bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave51B Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I would post the pic, but I can't seem to get it separated from the add......Now Thomas, you have me wondering which is worse. A tractor or an anvil as yard art? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Bill Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Dave, I heard in North Dakota they're now using row-crop tractors for front weights. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up here it's FIELD ART it's displayed right where it stopped in the field and they left it till they needed it again in a yr. or 20. You stop and ask about it boy is it valuable.

ThomasPowers Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Which is worse? Well an anvil won't degrade much with time sitting in a garden compared to anything with an engine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matto Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 It's all good I use a 75lb China anvil as a rear weight on our lawn mower because my. Wife is not heavy enough for the mower to get enough traction on our hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Cochran Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I got you. Thanks for sharing Dave. Ps a screenshot is a picture of the screen. Depending on what system you're using (pc, Mac, iPhone, android, etc) makes all the difference how you get said picture. I like your definition better Das.

Dave51B Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 I kinda wonder what the height to the face is...looks like a good traveling set up.....ha Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Cochran Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 That's an idea Dave. You could build a small forge in between the rails in front of the front tires. Then if your tractor point gets bent you can heat it up and forge it back to shape and go right back to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SReynolds Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Unstyled A (or B?) I thought it an oddity the local anvil dealer has this solid cast steel anvil like 60-70 pounds that had no hardie hole. I say's, what up with that. He replied that it is a peter Wright. Ah.........ummmm......no.......... 350.00 out the door. . Kidding me!!?? It aint no PW bro. It did ring like a bell but not super rebound. He was begging me to give 300 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a late 37' or 38' due to the shutter rod on the side of the hood. Early Unstyleds had radiator curtains...... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ling Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 the anvil looks to be in pretty good shape in the picture. darn them! id be the one to buy the tractor, keep the anvil and just sell the tractor, but that would probably be more work than its worth.

Dave51B Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 littleblacksmith, the add said $4500, might not be to bad at todays anvil prices. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
