 Topic: "fully restored" 180
Posted: 07 Oct 2017 at 11:55pm |
Check out this "fully restored" 180 on CL.
Don't know what to say other than you've got to love the custom front grill.

Custom paint,custom grill, screwed up the decals  but it does have a nice nelson muffler. Too bad he painted it silver.

And for 8,000 dollars, I think he could supply a center disk for the steering wheel!

I think the tractordata.com web pages are copyrighted, yet he took snapshots and posted them.

What bothers me is representing this monstrosity as "fully restored". Either they are dumb enough to think people will fall for it or just too stupid to know what "fully restored" means.

Well the good news is it's fairly clean so restriping it and properly painting it would be easier. If those are the actual hours on it and everything works well then I can overlook the so called restoration. $8K is a tad high. $5K would be better.

I like the way the seat is attached with a ratchet strap.

Fully restored. That must not mean replacing steering wheel or gauges or hydro couplers or even the right decals 😡 Sorry for the rant I just grew up on a 180 and hate when people don't know what they are doing or talking about

I think we are looking at a bona fide get rich quick scheme. I can't run fast enough from sales like this.

I sent a message asking if they had the missing sheet metal and grille and any pictures taken after the restoration. I got no reply.

If that tractor is listing 1,500 hours then I think the tach is a replacement.
Did anyone else notice that the muffler is on backwards?
