WHwest8597 85 #1 Posted June 17, 2017 Has anyone here ever seen a tractor they really like that is not for sale and you made a offer to buy or said if you ever want to sell to give me a call? I saw a really nice one yesterday driving to work. I have passed this house for years. The tractor looked like a 520. Doesn't look like it was used to cut grass and was just pulling a wagon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What have you got to lose? Go ask for first dibs and see what the response is...I did that on a neighbor's sailboat and enjoyed it for years when he decided to sell...

KC9KAS 4,741 #3 Posted June 17, 2017 Several years ago I saw a fellow I knew well mowing with a 520. I talked with him and told him if he ever wanted to sell the 520 I would really like 1st dibs. Well, a year later I got a call from him and he was ready to sell. He knew I was a Wheel Horse "collector" and felt I would get more out of it and appreciate it more than someone else. I told him what I thought it was worth, and what I felt comfortable paying. He had a figure in mind and with that being said, we worked out a deal! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not shown, new donuts from Milller Tire, coarse skateboard grip tape ( ) for the footrests. More. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cschannuth 3,795 #7 Posted June 18, 2017 That's how I ended up with Denny Clarke's 701. I already told him I want his 520 when he's ready for a new project, LOL. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
