My father in law moves all the equipment for the contractor. He said it has been a good while since it has been on a job. Oil filter was dated for the end of last year. Tractor has spent life outdoors most of it on a gravel lot sitting in the sun. They do not wash and paint machines like that. Surprisingly enough when I looked it over the sheet metal was not really beat up just rough looking. Honestly I think I am more leery of fresh painted stuff on lots. As is I am not paying for someone to paint over some problems and I can probably look at the records when things get more serious. I'm still inline with the $2K thought.
SDT said:The duals are interesting. One wonders how the PO was using it. Tires loaded (probably)? If so, it has probably seen lots of FEL use. Though the rear tires are 28", the front spindles look short. I cannot tell from the photos whether it is a converted LCG. The hours on the tach are not believable. In any event, it is a late model 3000 with the right transmission and PS. It should bring $3000+ in my area if it has no known serious issues. Does it have remote hydraulics? Evidence of loader use? What is the asking price?
