    Finally bought something!

    I know, you got all excited and now I'm going to tell you it is a 1964 Simplicity Landlord 101 that was sitting in some old man's shed for the last 46 years. No, it's not the Yanmar of my dreams, but it's fun to tinker with. They sure don't make mowers like this anymore. It had a tank full of...

    Still looking!

    Any thoughts on a 1700 with a blown head gasket. Talked seller down to $950 on the phone. Just found it tonight on NC craigslist and it has several pics. Owner bought from a friend in need of money type story. 487 hrs, missing side panels, but current owner said it would run poorly. PTO...

    Seriously thinking about 1510D

    Well, I've taken everything into consideration and think I am going to make the trip to GA and see this thing! Mus is right (if I drive 5hrs it's gonna be hard to say no but we'll see). Tractor stinks of a recon but I've looked at it everyway I can. Worst case I could break it up. I have no...

    More 1510D pics.

    You all seem to notice quite a lot so I thought I'd send a few more. Anything a deal breaker?

    Looking at YM1510D and trailer. I have had some correspondence with seller and would like to move forward with deal, but seller only has a certificate of origin for trailer and nothing for tractor. How do I know it's his? Do I need a title for tractor - I thought I would. Will certificate of...

    Looking at a 1500 - Help!

    Sorry guys, but I am tractor stupid and looking for my first. One that caught my eye is a Mitsubishi 1500 on craigslist. It's dark blue and so is loader - is that right or likely repainted? Box blade is red. Owner is going to send more info, but for now I just want to know if this is a good...

    New in NC

    Hello to all. I do not yet have a tractor, but am searching for my first. ANY input from the vets is appreciated. I don't farm, just want a little guy with a loader to play around the house.

    Looking for first tractor

    I have been researching for a while and decided Yanmar is one of my top picks. I found a 1900D with a loader and box blade for $4600. It is said to have problems with the bearings in the steering column but otherwise be in good shape. Any advise would be appreciated! Why can't I find much...
