Congratulations John! I'm really glad someone from this group brought this tractor home. I hope it was as good of a deal as it appeared to be.
On a side note, I believe this is the third confirmed tractor purchase from craigslist ads that I have posted, making me the all time leader in this category. I am currently planning a fabulous trip to either Winneconne or Racine Wisconsin, or perhaps even Portland Maine on the winnings I expect to receive from TractorCupid.com. I can't even begin to express the level of excitement that my wife has been displaying at prospect of this trip.
When the management of this forum show up at my front door to present to me one of those over-sized checks, I will be sure to post a picture of the entire family with gigantic smiles on all of our faces.
It would seem that I am really on a roll, I'm off to buy some lottery tickets !!!
