I now only need one assembly or gear. What happened was: I was informed of a gentleman offering for sale a couple of tractors and some parts, as well as a couple of 50" Rototillers some engines etc. This was listed as 4 hours away from me, I contacted the owner and found out that it was 6+ hours away. When I arrived to load up we could not get all of the stuff on the trailer {17'} so we began to put some smalls in the van. We still unfortunately had to leave the second tiller, the 2 engines, a set of rear wheels/tires and about enough parts to complete a third tractor plus even more parts. No problem we agreed to take the load home unload and return back soon to pickup the remainder. The owner informed me that he was at his daughters house and was not going to be back home for 3 weeks. We were on "Stay at home orders" for 3 weeks so no problem... ...or well maybe not. The owner texts me to inform me his son called the scrapper to come and haul away all the parts that I had already paid for. Not to mention that the son didn't receive any pay for the stuff and the scrapper don't allow anyone in the yard. I estimate at least $2,000.00 - $3,000.00 worth of Wheel Horse items. As a consolation I do estimate that what I was able to get is at least worth what I paid and then some, but it could have easily been worth much more if I could have been able to get the rest. I have found a gentleman that may have a gear, he is going to check and let me know.
