slim67 2,735 #27 Posted March 13, 2017 Here is a video of it running. Now it was Saturday morning in an unheated garage and it was very cold. In the teens I was told but I didn't check myself. Anyways this tractor has been sitting for awhile and had dead battery. IMG_0501.MOV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,769 #34 Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) This was marked down from $429 to $399...and you can't even ride it, pull a trailer, go to a show or push snow with it.....and it will not last as long as the 857. That is what I am talking about when I say a ride on is worth $400 all day....especially a short, frame, square hood. I had a picture of a walk behind lawn mower here. Now it is gone???

That is a sweet looking horse. My dad's old 161 looks dark too and it's original paint with some touch up so it might be age. This is it compared to the redone 701 I got from Denny Clarke. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am going Thursday or Friday. I already let the gentleman know I would buy it from him. As with the others,if it's got to go, it will be sold on here first. 4 hours ago, cschannuth said: That is a sweet looking horse.

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,507 #46 Posted March 14, 2017 Just tell the wife, "It's on clearance!!!!" For some reason, my wife can't seem to avoid the clearance aisles and usually buys something that we really don't need only because it was on clearance. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
