Yea, thank God I'm not married at the moment,...there is enough of that going on around here!
Anyways, went to pick up the model 86, and the little twurp would not even answer the door. I made it clear I was not going to pay a "running" tractor price for a tractor that don't run, and is a plane- jane. "Hey, keep it", I said,.. "I have bigger fish to fry"! Why do people have such a preconceived/ made-up idea in their head that these tractors are gold, even with blown motors and who knows-what else? Boy, what a cheese-ball this twurp made out of me!

Back in the good'ol days, I was not a person you said something to and then not come through with what you said you would, and I caught myself and let it all go and walk away.
Anyone?
Sorry to rant,....
BTW, I would get the 128 in the thread topic. Just make sure both party's understand the pick-up agreement. Needless to say, the owner of the model 86 I wanted want's a price similar to this 128 that runs.
