Are the pics "borrowed" from the real owner/dealer?
Maybe if a Cat dealer here or someone who is registered there would contact the seller?

Those pictures look familiar to the CAT seller pictures as previously mentioned early in the post. Go to the more pictures option and see what you think.

Yep, you are correct Dave. Those are the exact pictures the man E-Mailed me.
If this is a scam /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I would like to get this guy.
I did call his phone number and voice mail picked it up right away and said his name.

Hambone. . . thanks for the tractor's address!
I can absolutely tell you two things. There is no tractor at that address that Hambone got from the ebay seller; and the auction is a fraud.
The address given to me, while I did not go there last evening when I got the address, is very familiar to me. It is in the heart of the most expensive shopping/hotel/tourist district in Chicago on the main road, which has the nickname "Magnificant Mile." We shop there fairly often and there is absolutely NO tractor anywhere near that address.
Within a short walk of the address given are stores like Nieman-Marcus, Tiffany, Bloomingdales, Dunhill and Lester Lampert . . . but absolutely no tractor dealer, just high rise buildings with expensive stuff, art galleries, offices and hotels.

Bob,
He does say in his reply to Hambone " we will drive only 20 minutes to my farm".
Maybe he just offices at Neimans. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
