ericj 1,579 #13 Posted April 7, 2016 not to burst your bubble, if that's the same guy that i'm thinking, he's been selling those tractors for a couple of years now on the internet. i've never tried to contact him, but from what people that i'vr heard or read, was that he don't get back to you, and is very evasive. hope my stories are wrong and you bring home the mother load, i know i'll be jealous or green with envy. good luck all the best eric j 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timothy Box. Has 4 posts. I've seen his craigslist ads for a couple of years now. The last ad I saw has those 3 tractors at 6000. Search CL Altoona, 520-8. The 520-8 he will entertain offers. Good luck on them,maybe you will be the one to pull "Excaliber" from the stone! At a decent price ,of course! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vixmith 26 #20 Posted April 8, 2016 Good Luck on your WH picking gold mine, Phatboy. Like some others here, I would be making the 2-mile trip to see the merchandise and a little face 2 face negotiating. Always seems to work for Mike and Frank, the American Pickers! AND.... Thanx BuKu for your recent assist on my filters questions. Picked them up yesterday. ~ VGS 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This guy has been trying to sell these for years and all the sudden you want to buy them and just like that, "some guy" from Harrisburg is getting them? Sounds pretty fishy to me! As usual if the deal sounds to good to be true it usually is. And if it's true, that planets all aligned and somebody is buying them at the same time you wanted to, then man that is some super coincidence! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
