Is this a Danuser?

[Builder]

Seller claims it's a Danuser, but can't find any plates or tags to prove. Has downpressure kit. Would like to buy, but not sure who makes it. Danhauser post hole digger 3pt

That is a killer deal, buy it and figure it out later. If you don't like it, sell it and make a few bucks. It probably won't be available long at that price.

Glenn Danuser just got back to me. How cool is that?
It's a real Danuser, but requires a PTO upgrade kit for $400. I assume this is a driveshaft with Cardan type safety cover?
Owner said he filled gearbox with oil and now it leaks. Should be filled with gun grease.

Sold!

My rule is buy first, ask questions later... sorry you missed it.

I've posted the ad here so if someone else reads this in the future, it'll make more sense. (crappy CL photo)

I just had knee surgery and woke up at 7 am. Usually up at 5 am, but exhausted from suregry/anesthesia. Someone bought it 15 min before I called him.

Why are you looking for that specific brand?

Because a Danuser F-8 is probably one of the best diggers ever built and at $250 with downpressure, it was a steal.
