Shuboxlover 478 #1 Posted March 8, 2010 I drove about 100 miles (one way) to buy a parts tractor and that sweeper I asked about in the post I started about a week ago. We just happened to be going out that way (within 15 miles) yesterday and today for a basketball tourney my son was in. So all it really cost me in fuel was the difference between 13 MPG and 32 MPG.......(Jeep/trailer vs. Car) When I got there the tractor was in worse shape than I thought it was....I even saw pictures of it, but it was a complete basketcase. But he also had a 2 wheeled dump cart sitting by it... Long story short, he ended up having a cab up in his barn that I snagged for a very delighted $125!!!! the canvas is in near perfect shape. There is a 3" tear in the right door window....no biggie. Came home with the sweeper, 2 wheeled dump cart, and a cab pictures to come tomorrow (hopefully) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
