AMC RULES 36,945 #1 Posted February 1, 2017 Saw this pop up on C/L today... of course, I called within the first couple hours it was listed. Told the seller I had cash in hand, and was immediately getting on the road... only to have him call me back... within 5 minutes, mind you...to say it was no longer available. Oh well, at least he had the decency to save me the wasted trip. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,937 #2 Posted February 1, 2017 That's quite strange to have him call so fast unless someone was beating on his door waving Franklins at him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,040 #12 Posted February 2, 2017 Looks very much like mine when I bought it. Glade to see this one saved and hopefully it will find it's way to the big show in PA this year. At some point there was a snow plow on it. The lift chain is still there and it has the tire chains. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #19 Posted February 2, 2017 Having never seen one in person, that is quite the find. I'm glad a RS member got it also. Curious about the timing of the phone calls. Sounds like Jason probably was on the way to get the tractor when Craig called and the seller was going to see who got there first. Not the way I would have handled an item I was selling, but I'm just guessing on what went down. Sorry for Craig, though, but at the same time happy that Jason scored it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
