Well, we went to pick up the 1782 this morning,, armed with chains, binders, cable pullers, tire pump, jumper cables,, etc,,,
we were expecting a fight to get the 1782 on the trailer,,,
I backed up the trailer to the tractor, hit the key to see if it would start,,
it cranked right up!!
,, Actually it started like it had been used the day before,,
I tried to drive it on the trailer,, it would not go up the ramps,,
the chains were spinning on the steel ramps.
We took off the chains, it went right on the trailer.
It is running in both pics,,,
We never saw a wisp of smoke,,
We pulled the tractor up to a wheel stop I had in the trailer, then, loaded the second Haban deck on behind the tractor,,
Literally, there was not 1/2" of extra length,,, the extra deck took the remainder of the trailer.
When we got home, we checked the fuel level, the tank was even full of clear fresh looking fuel.
The "clock" says it has 900 hours,,
Over the weekend, my son-in-law ordered EVERY filter from Amazon, they are due to be delivered today,, (I think he said there are six!!??)
He is excited, this is his 4TH tractor, but, it is the first one he has purchased,
the others came from his dad-in-law,,,,
Thanks OAK for posting about it,,
Who could ever guess there are still deals like this available!!??
