Just had it happen to me AGAIN. Second time in a week.
I called on a nice used tractor listed on the interweb. The machine looks decent. Listed at 662 hours. It goes on an auction next week.
In the course of the conversation, I ask the standard question: Do you believe the hours are correct?
And the sales guy says, "Well, now, I guess now that you mention it, the tach doesn't work on that machine, so I guess that might not be right."
You don't freaking say! So when you put 662 hours in the ad, you just kinda forgot to say that there was no way that was accurate?
I feel kind of bad, but guys, I kind of lost my sh!t on the guy. I told him that was BS to be putting hours in an ad when he knew full well they were inaccurate. I said that was BS and that info should be in the auction listing.
It's a nice tractor but no freaking way am I going to even look at it now that these fraudsters have tried to pull this BS.
Last week on an auction same thing happened. Machine had 800 hours listed in the auction listing and seconds before the auction started the auctioneer said, aw shucks, the tach don't work... Oh well, let's sell 'er...
Is this kind of misrepresentation illegal or considered fraud in most states?

Today's Featured Article - Massey Ferguson 35 (and up) Tractor Assembly Notes - by Jack Wetmore. These assembly notes are for Massey Ferguson tractors with a two stage clutch and 6 speed, 8 speed and mutli-power transmissions. I see a lot of discussion forum messages regarding damaged clutches from improper assembly. The objective is to have the engine and transmission slide together safely and easily until the gap between the two halves is less than 1/4", BEFORE tightening any of the bolts holding the two together. Using bolts to draw the two halves together will damage the PTO
