Duff 206 #6 Posted March 14, 2012 In some parts of this country, that would called horse thievin'! Nice buy - looks like a great machine, and 800 hours on a 1988 machine really isn't all that "up there" - more like well broken in! Duff :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

varosd 1,185 #11 Posted March 15, 2012 great elderly gentleman who was rather astonished about all the knowledge (hats off to RS) and interest in his "lawn mower" BTW on the sale recepit, He traded in a C-175 A and got a $2,000 trade in value when he bought the 520 for $5,000 in 1989...must have been a left over from "88. like I said a great 73 y o guy and in talking to him for quite awhile, we have a common interest..fly fishing for trout and now we are set up to go out to both our favorite spots on opening day! I know about all the horror stories about meeting sellers and never knowing if you might have a double barrel pointing at you but if, we keep looking, there are great folks out there (like at the big WF show..yes I am starting to count down the days!) :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boovuc 1,090 #12 Posted March 15, 2012 Great deal! Maybe both of you can hit Yellow Breeches with some top water action later this summer! I never met an older man that couldn't teach me more on whipping a fly around! Hope you guys have a good time on your early trout opener. I'll be on Big Fishing Creek in the "narrows" this weekend! 600 bucks! Wow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 993 #13 Posted March 15, 2012 nice haul,dont forget that if an engine has been well taken care of as your tractor probally was,800 isnt really that much,now if the engine oil wasnt changed(like the last horse i got)then 800 is alot, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
