Hi, I just wanted to share my tale with you. A couple months ago,I responded to an ad for a case 446 tractor with a front snow blade for 350. The seller also mentioned in the ad that he had a snowcaster and mower deck for 100 apiece.He was selling it this way because the front pto was broken. It turned out that the mounting bolts broke. He stated that he would sell all pieces for 500.I gave him a call on friday evening stating that I would pick it up on sat morn,it was 3 hours away and he said he would hold it for me.When I arrived,the tractor did not want to start,but I finally got it going and gave him 500,no I did not haggle.I had no idea about case tractors,but thought it would work for me. A couple weeks later,the gentleman called me back and said he came across some manuals,so I arranged pick up.Now,just the other day,the gentleman called me back again stating he found the arms for the three point that were missing. Fortunately,my brother works in the area occasionally and was able to pick up the stuff for me. I just wanted to share this with you guys because people like this gentleman are a rare find and should be recognized.
On another note,I think that I just lost my case. My wife used it and fell in love with it.Thanks for letting me share

Thank you, are these awesome tractors or what! I've mowed grass with it and pushed dirt/gravel with it and am looking forward to blowing snow with it. Now I am fabbing a cultipacker for the 3-point and will be setting up a tiller on it

Thanks for sharing your story Rich.

Yes, there are quite a few good people still around. I've met a boatload of them right here at MTF!

i dont know how many times i have bought things and people said they would call me when they found something for the tractor. ITs usually manuals or spare parts they forget. No one ever calls back.
I make sure i have eveything together for a machine before i sell it. Its easier on the buyer especically if they have to travel a bit to get it. I had a guy drive 20+ hours one way from Canada one time so everything was ready.

It is all our responsibility to be good people.

The more people that we have the oppurtunity to be good to, which is basically everybody we interact with. Presents us with a chance to make our world a better place and the chance that it can rub off and keep giving back to us.

We are all good people here, that's why I like it here.

Some folks were raised right. Others have no sense of morals.

Glad to hear that hosnest folks can still come out on top.
