I'm sure many of you have heard of this particular scam, but I want everyone to be aware. I buy and sell tractor parts and the such on ebay from time to time. I placed a bid on a Farmall F12 not far from my neck of the woods. I put a max bid of $1500 but the tractor sold for $1900. The auction ended last week sometime. Two days ago I was contacted by an unknown party stating the tractor was available to me for $1500. I sent an email to the actual buyer and the seller, and both parties stated the tractor was sold with no other offers. I sent an email to the unknown party asking why the tractor was for sale and they returned my email without an explaination. They want me to send my personal information and stated ebay will email me strict payment instructions that must be followed. The last sentence stated the shipping for the tractor was included in the price. I found that statement amusing. The kicker is I'm a full time law enforcement officer and restore these old tractors for a stress reliever. I will be personally investigating this case. I've got a feeling the person conducting the scam lives outside the country. I'm gonna be contacting one of my FBI buddies with some contact information if my hunch is right. If any of you have been contacted with this scam be aware and don't give them any of your information. This includes your name. I will get a contact number and share it with all of you in the near future. Once I find out where this email is coming from I will contact ebay. I will keep you all posted and feel free to share any experiences or thoughts on this issue.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that�s wha
