Does it have gold n the tranny or something

In the photo ads is a 1968 Massey-Ferguson Deluxe 135 gas tractor priced at $71,000.00 surely this is a misprint. But then again it never hurts to ask some fool might give it.

Rare version with an experimental ETD turbo enabulator.

Hey Gary, I followed the link in the ad as I was curious. I see it's actually a Raffle Tractor, but I have no idea why he listed it in the photo ads with that wild price. Anyway, here is what it says on their webpage:

Probably a 4000 dollar tractor,even if he meant 7000 he's nuts.

Dang, Don, you beat me to it, might have the even rarer twin turbo encabulators on it!!!

I found that if you don't fill out the price box when making the CL add, craiglsist makes up its own price for you- out of thin air... embarrassing if you don't catch it, seems an ad is getting hard to edit or delete when sold, a real drag...

It must have worked. It got your attention. First rule in advertising.

Exactly. The price is to get you to click on the ad, and then you see the link to the raffle.

Probably against the rules, abuse of the system, but "it's for the children" so it's okay.
