????? Glean"o"r Says L4 in the ad, but L3 on the machine. $1? What am I missing. Seems you can't go wrong for that price!

The $1. is misleading. IM sure he wants a good price.. the $1. is just a way of getting dozens of people to call and ask.. Dishonest in my opinion. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I saw that listing too. From the photos and serial number tag, it looks more like an '86 L3. Not sure where 'L4' came from.  It also appears to be a small grain machine based on the grain bin decal and feederhouse belt setup. Pretty rare to see something other than a corn/soybean special in these parts.

I bet it's somebody selling a machine for somebody and they don't have a clue about it. That or a scam ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

Both very good possibilities. If I were a bettin' man, my money would be on "scam" but who knows. BTW, great signature THENDRIX...lots of truth to that

Ad doesn't look fake to me. Most of the fakes only post 1 pic, and sometimes its squashed, or has a text this number, in the picture. I don't like the dollar price thing, either. Sounds like he wants YOU to make the offer. Or he's just lazy, and don't know what to ask. Might be a clue that he's an A-hole, but I don't think he's a scammer, JMHO, I don't know squat, about the area...

Phone number is listed to a Jeff Cunningham Kendallville Indiana, he is listed on the Noble county fair list. Maybe it's a new carnival ride voting machine combination invented by the low life democrats to help register the votes of the cotton pickers who died back before Lincoln was president.

| That s/n tag clearly says 1986. He doesn't say what the engine is or the HP rating. If it truly is an L-4 (which I doubt) it would NOT have a 426 AC engine in it. |

It's legit. I texted him, he is out of his mind on the price 18,000 for just the machine. It's a 32 year old L3 with several hours on it. Take the one off then he would be closer. Just my opinion IG ------------- Education doesn't make you smart, it makes you educated. |

I'd call him and tell him I'd take it for the advertised price of $1 to waste his time. If I had time!

Yeah, clearly he wants someone to make an offer. I'd be on board with the "I accept your offer of sale at $1."....which sounds like a law school essay question. That would possibly create a legal obligation to sell at that price, but it would cost more than the machine to enforce it. ------------- 1951 B |
