sail8870 0 #1 Posted October 26, 2010 a friend of mine tried out my new tractor, which is the same exact thing, and liked it so much he wanted to buy it off me. I'm trying to help him out by helping to look for some because i don't want to sell mine, is this one here a good deal? See anything fishy or anything like that? Thanks NO POSTING OF CRAIG'S LIST OR EBAY ADS UNLESS IT'S YOUR OWN AND IT'S IN THE CLASSIFIEDS - SEE RULES Ad: Wheelhorse c141 8speed garden tractor / riding mower with Kohler K321 14hp, horizontal motor, 36", rear discharge cutting deck, snow plow w/ wheelhorse wheel weights and chains and all hardware complete. I used this tractor to mow about 1acre and plow snow since 1998 with very little problems. Always well maintained with grease, oil, filters, etc. I replaced the engine about 3 yrs ago with a used one in very good condition and started synthetic oil at that time. No way to know actual hours on the engine but it starts up quick every time and sounds real good. All metal is in good condition as it has always been stored indoors. $700.

WH nut 553 #2 Posted October 26, 2010 700.00 sounds a little steep, but Im cheap anyway. Now if you could get it between 4-5 jump on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,116 #3 Posted October 26, 2010 The tractor looks clean. I don't really think the price is high. Its a runner with wheel weights, chains, blade and a mower deck. What more can you ask for? The attachments alone are worth about half of what he is asking if they were sold separate. I have had to buy chains myself a few times and they run upwards of 85 bucks.

dgoyette 12 #4 Posted October 26, 2010 Sail I would pick it up for that price since it has all the extras. Worth that in my area all day long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mavfreak 11 #5 Posted October 26, 2010 not bad price but always try to go less. Alot of goodies go with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #7 Posted October 27, 2010 Personally, I don't feel this guy has done anything WRONG. He is asking a question about a Tractor that he really doesn't know anything about and wants to know if the price is a fair price. He does not want to sell his friend his tractor and guess what he is one of several New Kids on the Block. I haven't really noticed any sarcastic attitudes in the replys. I say let him be. I know I am no one special but this is the only way he will learn. Maybe his friend will also join and want to learn how to work on these tractors. I am not arguing about the rules. I agree and understand maybe for once let this one slide. Can't hurt . My Opinion See Ya, Bye Burly :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brrly1 1,146 #8 Posted October 27, 2010 Sail8870, ok now that I have opened my mouth, Most everyone trys to get something for as cheap as they can get it. I think your friend would be safe in buying this tractor. All in all it looks like a good deal. have him go look at it test drive it, start it up not once but a few times, check the oil, maybe airfilter. Listen for noises, check for smoke, more less just the normal stuff. Make sure it goes in all the gears. Once he starts looking he should be able to figure it out. Looks good to me. Good Luck.

Coadster32 793 #11 Posted October 27, 2010 Althought the intent of this E-bay listing was good, innocent, and legit, I agree with T-Mo on this one. No listing period means no listing period. How far and who's the judge on the execptions? Easier not to make them. He, (newbie), could have described it with his own j-peg pics. Just don't put up the links. Seems fair enough to me. BTW- Don't let this leave a bad taste in your mouth. This has been a little hot-button issue the Mods are trying hard to clean up. Alot of knowledge around here, and most are willing to share.

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #12 Posted October 27, 2010 Sorry, guys, if you disagree. I actually brought this up in the Moderator's Forum as I don't have a problem, personally, with posting things like this. But, rules are rules. If we let this one go, then it would seem we're playing favorites. I don't make the rules, but I have to enforce them rather I agree or not. There are several forums that have the same rule in place and get enforced more vigorously than we do here. We do want this to be a friendly place, but there has to be guidelines and rules. If anyone wants to asked about a particular Craig's List ad or ebay ad, please copy and paste the ad, add any images that's in the ad, delete any contact info and post it here. Just don't link to the ad nor leave any contact information. One final note, see Karl's latest post here: No Posting of Craig's List or Ebay Ads . Karl posted this after we discussed the issue in the Moderator's forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankB 16 #13 Posted October 27, 2010 I'm with Terry on this. While there seems to be nothing particularly bad about the original post, allowing it opens the door to abuse. If you have to decide which CL ads are OK and which not, that makes more work for our moderators with little or no benefit to our users on the board. I'm really appreciative of the work our moderators do to make RedSquare available to us and see no reason to make their job more difficult. That said, the large bold red text probably came off looking harsher than Terry probably intended. And to the OP, and I hope you find the site useful. best, hank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gene_S 93 #21 Posted October 27, 2010 I have no problem with it myself (Like that even matters...) T-Mo you keep spouting rules... rules... rules... IT IS NOT IN THE RULES!!! If you click on the link at the top right, nothing is said in there. I careless if there is a post from Karl about this... Karl should put it in the rules if it is not allowed... When people sign up for this site they look at the rules or should and then they would know from the get go. Maybe they should have to read them and agree to them before being allowed in. By no means, I'm not trying to start a pissing match with anyone, by no means you T-Mo I know your just doing what your told but some people are just looking for advice. The whole crowd has taken a change here and alot of members that use to post all the time have went away and we have alot of newbies... Take a couple minutes Karl and add this to the rules if it is not allowed... Make it LAW... My .02 cents... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
