A Gardn' All Gardn Master, A Good Price?

[1967Craftsman's]

Hey Y'all,

I saw a green Gardn' All Gardn Master on Fakebook Marketplace last night and am thinking of buying it, but personally DON'T think it will happen for the price. The owner is a asking $1,200 and I think that is WAY to much for it and PROBABLY about retail value. I think that about $450 maybe $500 would be a good number for it, considering the amount of money and time I would have to put in it to make it perfect again. All I know about these are that they were made for 10 years from 1951-1961, they were powered by Briggs and Stratton and Wisconsin engines and to tell which is which is that the Wisconsin air cleaner is on the left side and the BS is on the right side. I watched a video on Youtube from classic Tractor Fever and it said there are "only 2 known.", but I think there are a few more than that.......


Here is the video and photo.....

I'd say if you bought that for 500 or less you almost stole it. You are farther ahead spending a little more on a complete original tractor than to try to piece one back together. Is it the original engine? Is that tray on the side just an added step or has it had electric start added?

Not sure if it is the original engine or not or if electric start was added or not.

Well folks, it looks like the Garden Master is sold. I looked yesterday to see if it is still available and I did not see the ad. It just wasn't meant to be for me at the price he was asking. Onto the next search.....
