Crazy Ads online.

So while looking for a parts tractor.  I came across this ad:

Running when parked - drive mechanism is worn out

Old Murray riding mower, Motor was running when parked, drive mechanism wore out.

Brigs & Stratton 1.25 HP Motor

OK, what is a drive mechanism?  Also, I think that 12.5HP briggs is a bit underpowered at 1.25HP.


LOL

Description: Craftsman racing mower with a modified engine that puts out 35 hp! Built by Reeves Racing. Has won 5 championships. Will run 80 mph.
Price: $800

That guy is mentally messed up...don't do meth guys.

Edit: BTW, Reeves Racing is a company in Reeves County, Texas...that races thoroughbred horses!

Very nice machine, but no way it’s worth that kind of coin. And your BS detector is buried in the red lmao

Haha, well I don't think it's a nice machine. It needs to be lowered, needs aftermarket brakes, racing slicks, general safety stuff, etc. I'd give like $50 for it, just because the trans and the engine are worth that much.

I can't believe these crazy ads you've found in Texas @Double W Cross Ranch.  That tractor is worth no where near $800.

And I don't think a 12.5 hp flatty could make 35hp

Yeah that's what I said too!

Especially not with the stock carb like that one has.

Okay, so the guy has brought it down to $550.  Still no way he's going to sell it for that much.

HOLY

Lol you should contact him and ask what mods make the engine so powerful.

LOL yeah! Cuz it has a modded exhaust, and other than that, stock carb, stock gov, if it does produce 30 hp it must be a hum-dinger of a mod. LOL.
BTW before he had it up for $800

Yeah ik. Offer him what its worth. All of the 100 bucks lol

LOL I don't even want something that sketchy. Maybe I could just give him the phone number to the addiction help line. LOL

More like the number to the mental health phone line. Still if uou could get it for cheap it could be cool

Vintage Cub Cadet for sale This machine is beautiful. It is still fully operational but to pretty to put to work. However, you should still use her because she's begging to get out there and do the work for you. This is a steal for $3,500 and you won't find another deal like it. Come by to check it out.

CALL ONLY please do not text or email.

So it's a steal at $3,500?  Seriously?  I mean, it's a nice tractor, but he's asking like 8x more than it's worth.  And it's too pretty to work, but I should still make it work anyway?  Because it wants to, even though it's too pretty to? Huh?
Oh, and it's been up for like 6 months on various ads.  The price hasn't changed, I'm guessing he hasn't figured out he's not going to get it.

Wow this ad is still up?  I could see paying $2000 for it if the deck and everything is in mint shape.

yeah, been up for months.  I don't know, I'd give like $700 for it at most.

A few years I bult this mostly out of boredom from an old riding mower. Runs strong, needs battery. Goes 18mph measured by GPS. That is apparently the limit of the transmission which is why I stopped playing with it. I wanted to build a drunken redneck death machine but it just isnt fast enough to be truly scary.

Goes forward and reverse has brakes and a seat belt. What more could a redneck want?


$200 OBO


LAPBELT?! SOMEONE'S GONNA KILL THEMSELVES!!!

Lapbelt? Oh hell nah. I'd rather be ejected from it than crushed under it
