Way back when, musta been at least 12 years I bought this D 15II at an Aumann auction in Taylorville, IL. It seemed to be running OK at the time and got itself on the trailer. So through a few years i went thru the motor, front end pivot,final drives and whatever else it needed. Lastly a new single coat urethane paint job and decals. As I am approaching 80, I feel it is time I let it go. It really snorts with that 3" pipe and is not a gear jumper. Anyhow, when it thaws out later on, I am planing on getting it out and running. So what are your recommendations on how to market this gem properly? thanx, Dave |

Craigslist or Facebook Market Place. They have both worked fine for me. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

If it was me, I'd advertise it first here on the classified section and on Craighslist. Both places have proven to work well for me. Advertising in print media anywhere is a problem because of the necessary lead time, items generally are sold before the print version ever gets to the public. The exception here are daily or weekly papers. We have a farm-oriented weekly paper "Lancaster Farming" that I've been able to sell many things on. It's circulation is Pa, Md, Va. WV, De, NY & Oh. Is there something like that in your area? ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

Yep it sure does DJ. Setting that thing up kinda kept me out of the watering hole for a while. Oh and I really did not intend for you to go to the expense of air mailing, or maybe it was the mail persons that kinda made a flex joint of the weld on it.  Thanks again, it sure made a difference on the couple of tractor rides i went on.

Dusty, have you looked into it, like maybe the layout in the parts book? I have the 15 book, but that may be apples and oranges.  |

| stick it back on another aumann auction? they usually have the serious buyers there, and the auction company will take care if a bad check comes thru! |
