T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337 #1 Posted August 28, 2016 So this was on the local CL. This was in the ad along with a decent 1054, a couple of CCs, and some other garden tractors. $500 each obo. And no, he didn't put in that it was running when parked, but for some reason, that phrase came to my mind as it seems that is the terminology used for every non-runner. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougC 2,641 #18 Posted August 28, 2016 Either the phrase fixer-upper or road-side bomb or improvised explosive device comes to mind Or the sales manager at one of the GM dealerships I worked for would say It's a good solid unit.

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337 #19 Posted August 28, 2016 The other day I passed a truck pulling an open trailer with a zero turn on it. Usual site going down I-55 at 70 mph. But on this one, the guy didn't strapped the zero turn on to the trailer. I wonder if it ended up like this poor Wheel Horse here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Upper Canada 213 #20 Posted August 28, 2016 Put a steering wheel and rear tire back on that and it would be still better than any of the big box store tractors. Come to think of it, that is probably better than big box store tractors as it sits! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a good, or for that matter, smart practice. In some states, it's even illegal not to have cargo strapped down on trailers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
