I've found cheaper deals, but I want a unit with pans, chains, aircraft tires and a coat of factory paint.
I can find plenty of rust buckets on lammy tires with no pans or chains for $5,000-ish.
Trying to make a deal with seller today/tomorrow. I'm not terribly optimistic.
pant is 30$ a gallon and I have a sprayer..
Mine has aircraft tires.
no chains, but it has rubber guards in thfront and solid metal in the rear.
had faded and scratched factory paint on it.. NO RUST
like I said earlier. we have lots of horse farms here that turn equipment over a couple years after it hits a 5 yr depreciation table and is paid for. IE.. pay / depreciate it in 5ys, run 2 mor eon it 'free' then sell it.
I kick myyself for not getting a pair. they have another of the smae model on regular tires, that needed a pto shaft and some minor tlc.. and wanted 500$.. I shoulda got it if only for the 4 gear boxes and 2 side shafts.
it was missing it's front shaft and one tire was flat / one rim bad.
I was stupid for passing on it..
