1978c81 385 #1 Posted January 31, 2016 I sold my 520 to a fellow member. The guy was a true gentleman. He used U-Ship. He had it shipped from CT to PA for $155. The shipping company came yesterday at 10 am and he received it 14 hrs later. Just thought Id let you all know. Its nice to have mutual trust in a transaction and I find that that goes on alot on here. 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,655 #2 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) I've ( should say the wife ) have made transactions with others on the forum and never had a problem . I've even had fellow members message me if they see a part I'm looking for elsewhere . People of RED SQUARE seem to really try to help one another . It's probably a side effect of this sickness that most of here are afflicted with . Edited January 31, 2016 by ACman 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Al C. 1,428 #4 Posted January 31, 2016 You know, this mutual respect seems to go without saying around here. But it is worth noting once in a while. Besides the red stuff, it's what makes this forum addictive. Everyone trusts each other. I bought a tractor from a member last Spring. Rented a truck and drove 200 miles to pick it up. The tractor was better than represented and the owner was the greatest guy in the world. Never met him before. Shot the breeze with him for an hour and headed home. He passed away three months later. Not sure there is a plaque anywhere for him. Telling the story is my way of respecting him. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,523 #10 Posted February 1, 2016 Years ago a friend purchased a tractor. Was chomping at the bit waiting for delivery, couldn't wait, excitement was killin' him. Drivin' to work one morning he saw his new machine on a flatbed trailer at a truck stop. Stopped, sure enough was his. Needless to say, he called his employer, "Can't make it in today. Not feeling well." Liar. I think he missed a couple of days. Sicker than he thought. Liar. He was out drivin' 'round his property just 'cause he could! Mowin, turnin' dirt, photo shots. Sick? The fresh air made him physically well in a few days. His mind is stilled screwed up, tractor nut! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems all are waitin' for "the" Horse to follow him (or her) home. I've had a few from nowhere jump in my pickup! Ask the Ms., I told her all about it each time it happened! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
