T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,507 #1 Posted September 6, 2007 Saw this on that auction site. Looks pretty nice and there are also videos: Too bad it wasn't closer to me. Also there is a copy of the book, "Straight from the Horse's Mouth" - last time I've checked (yesterday) it was around $75 - a little more than what I'm wanting to spend on a copy.

nylyon-(Admin) 7,294 #2 Posted September 6, 2007 That looks pretty clean, where is it at? I agree with the book, I'm not really willing to spend $75 on the book. I heard that there is a new one in the works now anyway, so I'll just wait for the new one and pick it up at the book store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will probably also wait for the new edition of the book, unless I find an used copy at a more reasonable price. I have been looking, but so far, I haven't found any.

kj4kicks 152 #4 Posted September 6, 2007 Yep, I saw it too. Did anyone notice that he installed the front wheels on there backwards? That's why the dirty side is out. Never heard of rotating the tires on a tractor LOL . The 520xi that was a few miles away from me sold for over 2 grand. A bit out of my budget right now. But there are a few other listed that aren't far away. Maybe a manual trans would be a better match for the FEL ??? Eldon.... keeping my fingers crossed!

Yeah, now that you pointed it out, I see it - the front rims are inside out. That 520xi was mentioned over on MTF as someone was thinking about buying it, but didn't. I wouldn't mind finding one here in Missouri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #6 Posted September 7, 2007 I have that one on my watch list & may bid? It's up in Holland,MI....a few hours north of me & a nice place to take the wife to go antiqueing "spelling?"...atleast that what I'll say. I don't care much for Tecumseh engines...but it's to clean not to be interested. The fron't wheels are backwards...keen eye's guys...but then you see that alot so one can grease & add air without haveing to turn the wheel.

Stephen in northern IN I hope my posting it here won't expose it to more bidders, therefore raising the bid on you. I was careful not to include the link for that reason. Some sites outlaw posting of ebay auctions for that reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #8 Posted September 7, 2007 Treed have you looked at that auction recently Wow for a 9 day auction it sure has got a lot of activity in the 1st 24 hours? <_< It does look like a nice tractor & the dash plate looked very nice...don't see many like that. To many fires burning right now...guess I'll drop that one off my watch"dream"list. Stephen in northern IN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,507 #9 Posted September 8, 2007 No, I haven't looked at it since yesterday morning. I was thinking the price would go up until I wouldn't dream about it anymore. Sure does look like a nice tractor and from the video it sounds like it runs pretty good also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
