Thanks gents. I think her name might be
Clementine. Kinda played out, maybe, but it fits.
She's got 102 hours, probably mostly stored outside, some dents and dings, broken plastic here or there. Fuel gauge doesn't work. Needs new filters, for peace of mind. But that's all the complaining I could possibly do.
Backstory:
I found this package posted on tractor house last week. I don't normally peruse that site for listings.... not sure what got into me. I think I was on the toilet killing some time, lol. Usually there is not much listed that's anywhere local to me anyway. But I saw this post (may likely go down soon) and became entranced:
Looks like it was only listed there, no craigslist, FB marketplace, or forums like this one. Which is probably why I got lucky when I contacted with a somewhat lower offer, accepted their counter offer, and secured dibs.
The story is that the equipment house was listing it on behalf of a friend (seller) who took on the package recently in exchange for money owed to him. To whoever spec'd out and assembled the original package, my condolences on your financial troubles that led you to part ways, must have been tough to see it all go. And a sincere
thank you for putting together a serious package with quality equipment; no corners cut here.
