Need to kick my own behind,.

I think I let a tractor sell way too cheap at auction. Case 2390, engine just rebuilt. The tranny is slipping, at least the seller is honest on it. Only brought $1950.00 I think I could have spent another 3000 and got rid of my 1370 and came out ahead. Also need to kick my rear for not buying a Bush Hog disc mower, 9 foot, canvas and blades in good to excellent shape. All turned by hand thru the PTO shaft. My bid would have been $1000. It sold for 950. Other thing I need to have my a$s kicked for is what I did buy after I let the disc mower get away, bought a Gehl 9 ft MO-CO for 800. Didn't see the one big problem it had until after I bought it, as mentioned B4 I ran by hand the PTO shafts. I was watching the sprockets all move along with proper wobble box action. I did NOT see that some linkage to the cutterbar needs welded, DOUG

If you would have bought the tractor and the bush hog you would have found a bunch of problems with them too. Don't beat yourself up about it. That's an extra $3000 you have in your pocket now

There is no guarantee the buyer would not have gone to 5. spilt milk, never cry over it.
other opportunities will arise.

I call that un-buyers remorse. When I look at the weeds in my front ditch I am still reminded of a Super A with a balanced head mower I let pass. I'm too old to kick myself so I just sit on a shoe for while.

If it had transmission problems, I wouldn't kick myself too hard- transmission repairs can get really spendy. It probably wouldn't have been a bargain by the time you got it fixed.

Case powershift transmissions are getting hard to find parts for... just about down to junkyard parts for repairs.
