Default Massey 231s Just got today

I found this 2002, Massey today with only 59 hours, it was on craigslists. Guys father bought it new, then passed away he was ready to get rid of it? It has been in garage all this time, and he cranked it once a month. Do you guys think I'm ok at$8,000? it came with a boom pole as well.

That would sell quick here at $10,000. Looks back up the story. That tractor hasn't been used hard or often. Not so much "down time" as it would take to hurt it either.

I feel like, it was a good deal, he had the owners manuals in mint condition and the pto cap had never been off!

You won't be disappointed at that price. I have a '93 with over 1500 hrs. and it still runs like a champ. Only trouble I ever had was the Polish altenator.

I gave $8000 for my 98' MF 231 about 2 years ago with 500 hours on it. So in all honesty, you really didn't get a good deal in my opinion.......YOU GOT A STEAL. If you want your money back on it, just look me up on here!
