Has anyone ever
 

knocked on someone's door and asked about an obviously unloved, neglected cub parked in their yard? I drove by a QL today, passed by it pretty quick, but it looked in decent shape and it had wheel weights on it. (At least on the side facing the road). Looked like the owner ran it into a bush and just left it there. :bigthink:

I do that all the time, for cars and what not. . I also keep a few envelopes and small note pad in the truck. and put a letter in the mail box. sometimes they say come take it out of here. and sometiems they think they have a 100k pile of crap in the yard too.

Did it today as a matter of fact and still waiting on two other calls....Never know unless you try...

almost forgot, did it the other day. stopped to ask about a mule. and found a plow there too.

I tell my dad to stop but he drives faster. JERK:biggrin2:.

Do it all the time,Asked about a 1650 with 3 pt front ports and a light setup,and of course s nice seat.lady didn't want to part with it.
That was 3 years ago,it is still sitting in the same patch of weeds..

I did it once, the only time I've ever saw a cub local (30 miles away), it was a 1450 sitting up by the road, under a willow.... looked horrible, but complete. Had old shoes sitting on the hood and junk. Went up knocked on the door, no one ever answered.

i do just about every day. lol everytime i see something sitting in the dingweeds thats apealing to me i always slam on the breaks or if there are other cars around, go turn around. ive gotten allot of stuff by just asking if they wanna get rid of it. just picked up a #1 cart for $10 by asking if someone "wanted to get rid of that old cart by the shed over there". never mentioning cash or "would you like to sell it" or "how much for that". i find i have better luck getting things for free or cheap by asking "would you like to get rid of it"

That's awesome. Thanks guys. I think i'll take a ride out there again next weekend and stop. If the owner won't part with it, maybe i can get the weights off it. Donovan, if it was my better half driving i'm sure she'd do the same thing your dad does! :biggrin2:

sure, I do it all the time. Some sucesses and some not so. Ya never know if ya dont try. I never mention sell or buy at first. Let them decide.
