Tom

Need to sell these ASAP!!!

Congrats!!! Enjoy the truck.

Tom

swap a cummins in it!!! LOL! Looks like a nice truck.

Tom

Been here everyday.

hmm i guess where have i been then... lol

Tom

I hate when sellers don't have any real information listed like specs, miles, rust, etc. just runs good call. Also they post a couple crappy pictures then ask top dollar. How about a full side shot and 3/4 front shot so you can see this thing in its entirety? I want to see and know all about what you are selling and not guess.

If the seller puts no effort into trying to selling it, I will put no interest in buying it.

Now that my usual eBay rant is over that's the first C tractor I have seen. Most were Dumps. Looks cool. That is all you Tom. I hope you get it.

Man where the he!! have you been! lol!

TOm

Holy S*** you have almost 6,000 post? Damn

Another C

Buy the thatcher!

Tom

Just called, there's a guy before me that wants to buy it. He said he didn't leave any money, but he's giving the first guy the option to pass or buy it. He said he'd call me if he doesn't want it.

He was originally asking 10,000 for it. It's a very nice truck, but I think 10,000 is very steep.

Gave an offer, said if first guy doesn't want it it's mine, so cross your fingers!!!!!!

Tom

Wow! I'm really interested in this! Exactly what I want!!!

Really dont know the going prices on these items... But if your interested send me a offer! Items need to be sold asap.

Tom

There were two or three single axle Mack's on Craigslist for under $10,000. I think around $8k really. Do a search with search tempest within a 200 miles radius and you'll find them.

Most important is to get your insurance quotes from several different companies before buying another cdl truck.

I got ya JT! Thanks!

Tom

That r model is awesome!

Tom

Yep, and I'd like to keep it in my driveway, I can probably get by with a single axle, but I don't think I can with a tandem...

Tom

That was progressive and try gave me a quote for my 550 at 14000 a year. I just got insurance on the 550 for 2800 a year. So I just gotta keep shopping for insurance for the dump truck and hopefully it'll work out...

How does the truck look?

Tom

Did one quote on progressive and it's 11,000 a year... Gotta shop around and find more. Hopefully cheaper.

Tom

I know I know, I have to look, just was searching on line and found tho and decided to post It on here.

Looks real nice!

Tom

Looks like it was rattle canned... Only half got painted lol.

Tom

Assuming you already have a cdl.? I personally question their "rebuilt motor". Questionable at best from what I see from the outside pics. Be certain you can derive enough income to pay all the added expenses of running a larger truck. The guys on this forum would be much better on the overall picture. Truck itself doesn't look bad for the age, price sounds alittle off to me. Document rebuild, professional or back yard mechanic with Mickey's help? Tires aren't very good on the front. No matter what you buy prepare to invest in order to KNOW what you have. My 2 cents for what its worth. Good luck...........remember grades are more important than work at least for now........best wishes!

Yes got my cdl a little over a month ago, I agree, i would like to see documentation about the motor... Theyre about 6 hours away from me... I haul anything from stone, dirt, mulch, QP, top soil... ETC. Last summer i got leased out to a landscape company hauling leaves in the fall. I think i can pay for the added expenses. but would like more opinions on what others think! Thanks for your help!!!!!!

Tom

Looks like a great truck!

Tom

Got your email! Sorry for not responding, had college mid terms. Im meeting with my buddy tomorrow to show him the damage. We will go from there!

Thanks,

Tom
