from before::

sold my little tractor a couple weeks ago. Buyer test drove/checked everything out, I explained everything, all work /maintenance done, but told him he was buying a 47 year old machine and anything could happen. Few days ago, get a call that the tractor is shot and the headgasket is the problem. Will cost 2k to fix it. Called them back and asked what happened. Coolant empty, oil level overfull. Asked for grey foam and there was none. Said they only used the tractor once for ten minutes or so. Said OK, email me exactly what the problem is, who diagnosed it, and the hours off the meter. Haven't heard from them. Don't want to put it to anyone, but where would you draw the line? They signed a BOS that stated as inspected and no gaurantee. Tried to contact them again because a headgasket replacenent is 200 bucks max but they don't answer.



FF to today...

Get an email that they had it to a shop and the HG is fine but it needs new pistons, rings, cylinders, and the rubber orings at the bottom of the sleeves......... cost of 3000 euro.........

Parts they are talking about plus needed gaskets including a headgasket is 400 euro (450 max)... Sounds like the shop is really proud of their work or maybe the know the folks and don't wanna do the work for them...

Anyway, they asked me if I knew someone that could do the work needed....

Thinking it is a good time to cut ties with them because I can't see that they were honest with me to begin with (all these problems coming out of 10 minutes of operation)..... The kid that I got the other tractor from could do it in short order, but doubting their honesty, can't bring myself to get him involved with them and have a feeling I'd always be in the middle....

Anyway,

this is a 3 cyl diesel..... any idea what could cause the damage they say in such a short time??? It sicks not being able to trust folks.I'd really like to help them out but don't wanna get stuck in the middle of something....

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
