California · Jan 12, 2014

This Ebay auction ends in a few hours. I PM'd the seller and found it includes a backhoe. Note bad engine.

That's the same 1 bunick listed in this http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/yanmar/299852-336d-sale.html thread....... I see there are still no takers. No one has even bid . In the shape it's in... At $4000.00.. I think he will have to keep it

I thought someone might shoot him some kind of offer but it doesn't look like he has gotten any. It will be interesting to see if he re list it at a more reasonable price.

If he wants to sell it he will . Almost anything will sell for the right price

Thanks. I thought I had seen it described here but couldn't find the post. It didn't occur to me to look in the 336 thread.

Depending on the brand/condition of the backhoe, that alone should be worth $3k or more. I'm surprised the seller didn't post a more descriptive listing. He's leaving money on the table. Like the CL title for the 186D I bought last fall. "Tractor $1'. That was a pretty obscure title, no wonder nobody called before me.

He didn't help himself out much. Posting in strange area, not describing it or the problem very well. More pictures are always good. It look like his first try at selling something. Maybe it will be relisted .

Just wow! I hadn't noticed what category he listed it in:
Heavy Equipment Parts & Accs > Manuals & Books

Condition:
Good: A book that has been read but is in good condition. Very minimal damage to the cover including scuff ...

This is his entire description:
4x4 needs engine rebuilt/ back hole assembly/ disc blade

One photo where the only thing that indicates how well he maintained it ... is the half-flat tire.

And a brand new seller with no feedback. This whole auction is a lesson in how not to list something on Ebay.

This might be a reasonable buy for a Dallas local if the 'rebuild' needed is nothing more than it needs injectors cleaned or something. But definitely a 'buyer beware' situation. With Powershift, backhoe, and disc, that is an attractive model.

You would think he would post a picture of the "back hoe" if there indeed is one. It might be worth as much as the tractor.

Changed spelling here, not thinking what my quotes might look like to others.

I would like to get a hold of a 226D but not that bad. Like California says it could be good project if a guy could get it bought right. But there is a whole lot of info that isn't known and it's to far from me to be practical.
