I sent you a link of a tractor for sale. Wonder if it is the same as yours? Most curious about parts availability. |

Chit,,Thad,,I never can hear the beep tellin me I got a new text on my IPhone and don't know how to make it louder,,,PHHHHSSSHHHAAaaa!!! (That's a new one,,,) Yeah,,it does have some similarities to mine, but I think it might be a newer model then mine. The tractor does have the shuttle shift on left side as the Industrials did but I can't see if it has the trans cooler or the reinforced front end to know fro sure. The back hoe is "similar" as it has the cylindrical rotary swing altho it has something mounted on top of it, A word of caution on that swing cylinder,,,unless you actually see it "swing BOTH directions" for yourself,,,parts for the cylinder are few and FAR between. I do have a number for the feller I got the repair paddles and seals from and he told me they wern't available any longer. The loader does look stout but is way different than mine. I just noticed,,the main lift cylinder on back hoe leaks down is why you see them chains holding it up,,,,, Does the engine run?

I haven’t contacted them yet. It looks a little rough and I agree the chains holding it up make me suspicious. I really don’t have time for projects anymore. It’s only a few miles from here. |

Well, Chit,,,I was thinking so hard didn't even type anything,,,,  The main boom cylinder on mine also had to be rebuilt and cost dang near as much as a new one,,,,, That "Alice" looks to have been rode haa'ard and put up wet and at $3,500,,it'd have to have an almost new engine and tranny,,, Some people take good care of their equipment,,,and some don't,,,,,

Yes ole Alice has been rode hard but that’s typical of any equipment used in the Ozarks. I wouldn’t give the asking price or even close. Thought about giving an offer but decided it was a bad idea. |
