Whmaverick 54 #52 Posted January 9, 2013 I've went further for less also. But my best deal, "free" was 3 miles. But I guess at this point I'm like squonk, looking for the package deals, and sell what I don't want. But I'd never discourage hunting / gathering , lol that's half the fun, fixin em one quarter, and runin em one quarter. So you see to have all the fun you gotta start with find and get! Did you leave yet? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leeave96 487 #54 Posted January 10, 2013 I think the furthest I have I have driven is from near Roanoke to Chapell Hill to see Van for a 42 inch mowing deck. Worth the drive just to meet-up with Van too! Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cutlas3391 776 #55 Posted January 10, 2013 I'm scrolling through an ad and I discover this,it appears to be a 702-752 ?It appears to have a hy-2 set up and original wh tires and a bad red overspray rattle can paint job.Owner says it needs coil-300 bucks.My dilemma is its a 8 hour roundtrip.I would punch a gorilla to get this semi local and think it's near ridiculous to spend this kinda time traveling..........But................. I had same interested in the same one about couple months ago offer him $250.00 he seems pretty cool I talked to him. Plus he's been sitting on it for awhile now... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,902 #56 Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) I think one the biggest things is who does it effect that your gone. If the wife stays home how understanding is she that you head out across state lines for a tractor! I sold an old Power king snow blade to a guy in Ohio on E bay. My wife thought the guy was nuts. He gets here with his wife and we talk a few min. Both wives are shaking their heads My son is in school in Buffalo so she has gone on my last 2 trips that way after tractors. We had some fun one time trying to find a gas station with a bathroom up north of Lockport. We were amazed at all of the porto-potties that were used and the boarded up bathrooms. Not many of them were on level ground either. most of them if you used it, you'd be peeing at an angle! :ROTF: Edited January 10, 2013 by squonk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hm12460 53 #57 Posted January 10, 2013 I drove from Muskegon, MI. to Kokomo, IN. (about 250 miles??) for a Commando 800, then a month later went back for a John Deere 110. I limit myself to 200 miles one way nowadays, unless it's a killer deal or I really got the hots for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dcrage 621 #61 Posted January 11, 2013 Ahhh....I guess I don't "quailify" as a serious Wheel Horse person yet -- I went 20 (1-way) miles to buy my 310-8; 15 miles to buy the 418-A, and (the big one) 50 miles to buy my tiller Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH-PWR 62 #62 Posted January 11, 2013 I'm not sure if anyone commented on the electrical switch or wiring that can be seen on the side of the dash. That would be the key switch and the start-button. They both are relocated to make room for the HY-2 stet-up. The whole tractor looks real good to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
