Earlier today, I came across another thread on TBN, where a member talks about the problems they encountered after purchasing a used tractor online, sight unseen. Their thread referred to another thread on another forum which linked to a Youtube video of the tractor prior to purchase. Based on the problems that they encountered I decided to create this thread to highlight the potential dangers of purchasing online.
Please note that for the purposes of this thread the brand and model doesn't matter because it could have been any tractor. At first glance, the tractor in the video below looks fine but if you look closer you may notice that something is wrong, can you spot it?

Did you spot the problem? I watched the video after reading about the problems the tractor had and didn't see it right away myself. You have to watch very closely. This is a prime example of why one should always evaluate any potential used tractor purchase in person, by test driving it, preferably under actual operating conditions, prior to purchase. Assume nothing, second guess everything, and trust noone.
Here is a link to the other thread on TBN which discusses the ongoing repairs being made to the tractor.
