I've got too much going! So...I bumped into a 2012 on my way home from work...no less than 3 miles from my house. I looked it over, and made a deal.
They guy had plans, so I'm picking it up in the morning. Pics to come! She's a 2012 with headlights and light bar, dual lift, stinger and extra doughnut weight, wheel weights and chains, Tiller PTO and 42" dozer.
AND...I'm told he has my front counter weight in the garage!!! I've been begging for one everywhere I know, and found one down the street...I'm thrilled, and nervous because it's not on the infamous trailer yet...more to come.  |

Sounds nice! But really, couldn't you find one closer to home? |

I know the feeling well. I find most of my deals on CL, and sooner or later someones going to back out or sell it while I'm on my way.
Sounds like an awesome find, good luck and I'm looking forward to pictures! |

Ta da!
I picked it up and yakked with the guy for 25 minutes, then headed home, and somebody followed me right to my drive! Guy gets out of his car, and says he wanted to peek at the tractor. Come to find out, his uncle sold it to the PO back in '94, and had had it since new.
My new friend/stalker still has the mower, tiller and blower for it, from his uncle! Turns out, I work with this guy, and he's been running pulling tractors for decades. He currently has t15 rigs, and is looking to clean things out. Says he has been considering selling a nice 7116H on a fresh rebuild, and a restored Yoeman....and took my number...How about THAT! |

Yeah...not so much. They're tucked in just about everywhere I can find. I think this one will already have a new home...a buddy wanted me to find him a good runner for mowing and clearing snow. I have a deck for it, so Im grabbing some goodies off it, and offering it to him.
Went through it, and fixed a couple little things with spare parts...runs great! |

| When are you going to put fenders on that rock thrower. Its could get you a hefty fine here. |

| I need some luck here too. Haven't got a tractor in close to a year. No mention of the right hand lift?? Oh yeah, I see it now, dual lift. What's it's use? Never seen one, only pictures. |

| Fenders are in the garage...not the best place, I know. We did measure today, and I hope to have them welded and ready for paint next week. Im not anticipating any more trctor runs....need a nice heavy set of ramps for the truck... |

you can lift front and rear implements independently. Not sure how a stinger weight helps with the right hand lift, though . |

Actually the right hand lift has a plate that mounts on the inside so you can also operate the center lift independently of the front and rear or you can place the front lift rod on the right lift handle and operate the front independently of the rear. You can leave your deck on and still mount and use a front or rear attachment, or mount a center grader blade and front grader blade or rear tiller for the best of both worlds.
