Sorry for the delay, been a bit busy.

It"s 9" wide. Some parts of the lift have been repaired. Tires are 16", tubes appear to be bad, rims are decent, except for right around the valve stems. Please note slight bend in the tongue, at the end of the tape measure.

Honestly have no idea what it"s worth. I suppose I could check equipment listing in the area, but won"t have time for that till the weekend. Geez, as if I don"t have 100 other things to do.

Y"all have a good day!

Looks like somebody had a little too much horsepower on the front of that one. As far as I know the graham-home (sp) diggers all came with manual lift levers and farmers and blacksmiths put the hydraulic lifts on them. Dad and my uncle had 3 or 4 of them back in the 70's but they all had spring loaded shanks, it looks like some of yours might have sprung the frame or the shanks themselves might be sprung a bit. I don't remember if the bolt pattern on the wheel is something special or not, we never had any wheel bearing problems in all the years they farmed with them. I would guess scrap price on it would be around 200 in our area. Also, I am not sure if the bolt spacing on the shanks was the same as most name brand diggers, seems to me we would have to cut new holes when we put new shovels or spikes on. Looks like a handy little digger if you need it for a small acreage or cleaning trees.

Wouldn't ever get $100 bid 'here' for that, a better shape one the same size 3pt with some paint & standard points and good tires & rims on it won't hardly bring $150.

I guess iron price went up so maybe it's worth $200, but not any more! 'Here'.

Hoeme chisels are tough machines.

There were high clearance and low clearance models and I seem to recall you could tell which they were by looking at the lever lifts.

You could get bold on extensions to add working width.

There was also a rod weeder attachment with part of the mechanism bolting to one wheel which then gear drove the rod.

I tend to remember that the implement was aluminum paint color with red shank holders and the wheels were either red or green although I seem to recall seeing one with blue wheels.

That hydraulic cylinder is worth $100 or more. The rest of it should go for scrap, or take it apart piece by piece and use the iron for future projects.

I sold one like that about 9 years ago for $950. Guy gave it to me because it was just JUNK! Cleaned it up painted it put two tires on it and sold it, Back to the same guy that gave it to me. He told me there was no way it was the same one he had given me. I would say yours should be worth $350 as it sits. One thing to remember any small equipment is worth more now because no one is buying new stuff and all the equipement being junked. Bandit

The one I had was painted aluminum with red shank holders and wheels.

I bought it on a consignment auction for $350, used it for 8 years, and sold it for $500. The fellow I sold it to still uses it occasionally.

The later models all came with hydraulic hookups NO manual levers on them. I still have a 13 ? footer. It is built a lot heavier than this one is.
