Norm [IND] your a real class act!

I would not recommend doing business on a forum its kinda like internet dating who knows what you are getting and who you can trust everyone is nice and the pics look good on line and then you meet the girl or seller and holy crap that aint what i bought.  I always said do business on a local basis as there is someone to go back on and unfortunately you are much better at this day and age of assuming you are going to get screwed and try to anticipate it...  The ones that burn you are the ones you least expect.  I bought a large AC tractor from a forum member supposed to be totally redone from front to back with a rebuild motor and everything gone through.  I had it here 3 months used it the 1st time to pull a plow that was two bottums under what it could pull and dumped the tranny called up and Im told send it back to me well that was 4 states away and 1000 to have it trucked round trip.  Sent it to AGCO dealer and the tranny had to be rebuilt was a known problem that everyone who ever worked on ACs  knew a new bolt kit was available...  I brought this to the sellers attention and get well Ill pay for half the other half is your problem...  While the AGCO folks are there they look through it and  the air filter in the cab was caked in dirt!!!!! and cob webs I used this less that 12 hours in a wetter dust free field!!!!!!  Mechanics like the filter still says AC on it and it was probably 15 years old!!!!!!  I changed the fuel filter and behind the filter is the caked dirt and other gunk years of use get some total rebuild...  but my fault was doing a hand shake deal and not being close enough to supervise...  Lesson learned and only cost me 11 K for the tractor and to date 5K more for all the repairs of the supposedly rebuilt parts!!!!!!!  YOU DO BUSINESS FROM A DISTANCE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!!!  IT IS NOT RIGHT BUT A FACT!!!!!!!

  I POOSTED AN 800 PHONE#  MY PHONE RANG AN I ANSWERED IT  DID NOT ASKED WHO IT WAS  HE TOLD  ME HAD A G  DID NOT ASK NAME  ASKED HOW IT WAS EQUIPPED  HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS WORTH  TOLD HIM I DO NOT PRICE OTHER PEOPLES EQUIPMENT  YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT IWIL TELL YOU YES OR NO  THAT WAS THE CONVERSATION  NOW BAC K TO ME I HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS GOING ON 43 YRS.  YOU HAVE MY  800 PHONE #  YOU CALL ME THEN WE CAN TALK  ON MY NICKLE  WILL BE WAITING ON ANY CALLS BUT MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN  WE HAVE BEEN DOING VENDOR BUSINESS SINCE BEFORE THE FORUM WAS STARTED

I think its time to put this one to sleep. Mike the seller and Norm have spoken.

I think the whole thing would be easier to stomach if it wasn't for the fact that it was Todd's post to begin with, he was the one that posted that he was looking for a G. Maybe Norm should have started his own post if he was looking for one?? Either way it's too late now.

This entire Thread should be DELETED

 

People will say what they want about a person

To those folks who mean something to you - the words mean nothing
