PatRarick Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Four years ago, I sold a B-210 with a one year old engine for $500. Two years later, the owner tore out the BGB. He didn't want to put in the money for a rebuild, so he he just gave me the tractor. I rebuilt the BGB, tuned it up and sold it again for $500. The buyer just called me to tell me that he had sold his hunting property (where he used the B-210), and no longer needed it. He offered it to me, delivered, for $250 with all new belts installed. By the way, I did the service and repair work on the tractor for both owners, so I know that it is in nearly the same shape (or better) than when I originally sold it. Wonder if I should try for another $500, or keep it since it wants to keep coming home? Pat
KenK Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 I kinda thinks the old girl misses you.Maybe ya ought to keep her for awhile.:)

Then again, maybe its supposed to just keep bread on the table..MPH The message could be that it belongs here. My uncle purchased this tractor, new, on June 22, 1970. He purchased it with the center pto, 42" mower, rear lift, and cultivator for a whopping $1,184. He was allowed $975 trade in on a WD with loader that had a blown engine. He paid $214.50 to boot, including tax. He collected a few attachments over the years, and in late 1998, he sold me the tractor, mower and cultivator, plus a 42" snowplow, 10" moldboard plow, spring tooth harrow, sicklebar mower, wheel weights, chains, plus the trailer he hauled the entire outfit up here from MPLS, for $500. I have kept all the attachments, except for the mower which has always been with the tractor. I sold the trailer for $500. Seems like it has been a money making proposition, so far. Pat
MPH Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Well, just don't know what to say Pat, can't see how a B210 be too tough to learn to live with...MPH
SmilinSam Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 Paint it green and it likely won't ever want anything to do with you again...
KenK Posted August 20, 2003 Posted August 20, 2003 [:0] Sam Sam Sam such a thing to say, you might as well shoot it and put it out of its misery.
