I would tell the overzealous owner (rattle can jockey) that I need to rent an enclosed trailer to transport his gem, That has to be figured into the price... Why the enclosed trailer??? To keep the "flyaway" paint on the tractor and not onto the windshields of the cars behind me!!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sailman 1,291 #27 Posted February 1 My favorite "good grief" spray bomb is when you see the tractor or implement listed and the picture shows it sitting there with not only the over spray on tires, etc but lots of over spray on the ground all around the item....just painted and ran the ad... 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a Toro Z locally on marketplace, paint on the tires, decals, belts, pulleys, seat, handles...and a big red glow to all the ground around it. The audacity to say in the ad "recent pro paint job". 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brockport Bill 1,661 #32 Posted February 2 my first WH was a 312-8 I bought new in 1989 when we had few $ -- it was the first significant expense our young family spent $ on -- We still have and use the 312 tractor and is still my "favorite" if perhaps mostly for nostalgia reasons --------- so a couple years go I wanted to be sure the mower deck was going to be a long term item - - for me and down through my children and grandkids -- So I went the extra $$ and took it to the pros and had it sand blasted and painted "properly" at an Auto Body shop - happy I did and not something I would spend $ on for just any tractor -- but with continued care this 37 s.d. will last another 30 plus years - mowing grass and collecting leaves with its bagger 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
