Can you spot the error

It's not just Craigslist. I copied and pasted this right from an auction sale bill.

1959 Oliver 770 Row Crop gas tractor, 6 cyl Walker Shaw engine, pto, 2 outlets, new paint, motors dismantled, heads rebuilt

About as bad as when an auctioneer listed a Keck Gonnerman beaner as a Kick Gunderson. LOL
 
And really it isn't a Waukesha, it is an Oliver. There are differences between the Oliver/Waukesha and the Waukesha/Waukesha
 

Looks to me like a case of a translating secretary. I have seen numerous cases where a secretary will hear or read something that does not make sense to her so she translates it into something that does, and that is what you get.
 
Well, Walker Shaw was close, and how many motors does it have, well maybe the starter motor is dismantled also.
 
Local buy-sell-trade paper used to hire a couple high school girls to take ads off the voice mail ad taker,the paper was some of the funniest reading you could find and they sold a bunch every week.Even one of the local radio stations started reading some of the best ones on the air.
