ya, I know what ya mean:) and it's waaay to far away to go check out when I think that something isn't right about it. I just thought maybe somebody on the forum here checked it out. I found it on machinerytrader.com

Thanks for the offer but i need to throughly check out the area around me first. Hopefully I won't need to go that far.

If this machine is what they are saying, there are not a lot of these machines (that age, that price, that few of hours) around. You may have to go that far. If this individual is generous enough to offer it may be worth it. If it's not a big deal for him I would take him up on it. I would hate to let it get away if it's the right hoe for you.

I had a K, years ago, that had 9900 hours on it and it worked okay. With that many hours on it, it should scare away the flock away and maybe they will take a low offer. Phil:)

I looked at the link that CM 1995 gave. I don't believe that the machine has only 1142 hours. That meter has been replaced or was disconnected for a while. I just bought a used Deere loader that had 1200 hours on it. The machine still looks like new.
