Time for a progress report. Well, no progress! I'm sure many of you have experienced the frustration of this. I guess at age 67 I should be happy that I still can feel like a kid on Christmas Eve but, like I told the dealer, I was hoping to get the tractor while I was still spry enough to be able to climb into it.
Being a used tractor, it has a few issues that I wanted repaired before I took delivery plus it did not have a loader on it. There is damage to the top left corner of the cab and the hitch arms had apparently been backed under something causing damage to the lock pins on the draft link arms. The cab damage requires a new top for the cab, which costs about $800 plus labor. I think they said the parts to repair the draft links were about $50. They agreed to make the repairs as part of the deal, prior to delivery. I called today, one week exactly since we made the deal and was advised that there was no cab top and no loader yet. Maybe next week.
Zebrafive, the tractor has the standard 16/16 powrreverser. I would have liked the plus with the high/low buttons but when you buy used you have to settle sometimes.
I have a couple cell phone pictures that I took of the tractor as it sets now. Maybe I'll try to figure out how to get them on here later. I'm going to have to figure out how to post pictures sometime anyway in case the tractor is ever actually delivered.
Have a great day.
Bob
