This is what I take on this. KTAC paid out for a total loss for some reason, that would give KTAC possession of the tractor. It was sent to auction to reclaim some money. Auctions are "As Is, Where Is", which means it is sold in is present state with no guarantee and usually not a lot of information. Same thing is done with totaled vehicles all the time, but you have to apply for a salvage title, which should throw up red flags. Tractors don't have titles. A dealer bought it and then resold it. My questions are: did the dealer make any repairs after buying it at auction and prior to selling the tractor, if so what was done, did the OP test drive the tractor before purchase, how long after the sale was the problem noticed and was there any warranty from the dealer?
