Yes, it was the one that was on e Bay. I contacted the seller and he told me that he was selling it for his father. He also told me that the reserve was $1500. I gave his father a call and offered him half of what I could buy a new one for locally. I have a $2000 price picked up from a local Kubota dealer. That price is just the parts, assembly extra. After reading the manual, the assembly isn't that much. He accepted my offer and I was on the way that Saturday to pick it up. I had no idea that there was more to be had. When I got there, I started looking around his garage and saw the other items. I asked about them and we made the deal for the rest of the "stuff". I would have even offered to buy the tractor, but it wasn't for sale. He needed to move these items, because he is leaving for a extended vacation for 15 - 18 months... No it isn't jail, but Paridise.... he is going to the Marshall Islands in the South Pacific for a work related project. He is a engineer and this is his next assignment.. It was a great deal for both of us. He got some spending money and I got a few things that I wanted. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif The only thing that is missing is a $16.00 part that was forgotten on the tractor. It is the hose retaining bracket. If I can get to him before he leaves, I am certain that he will mail it to me. He is a extremely nice person.
