[simmy5823]

I WAS THINKING OF BUYING A 2010 JOHN DEERE FROM A LOCAL RESEDENT .THE MAN HAS IT LISTED ON CRAIGLIST. SO I CALLED TO ENQUIRE ABOUT HE TRACTOR,HE TELLS ME THAT THE MOTOR NEEDS NEW SLEEVES .MY BROTHER AND I CAN MAKE THE REPAIRS WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE BUT WE WERE WONDERING IF THE TRACTOR WOULD BE WORTH THE TROUBLE.THE TRACTOR NEEDS A NEW TIRE AND SOME PAINT BUT OTHER WISE IT SEEMS TO BE ALL THERE.I CAN GET IT FOR LESS THAN $800.00 WHAT DO YOU FELLOWS THINK?

Parts are fairly expensive for that model plus they are known as the worst tractor JD ever built. Is it gasoline or diesel? Hyd's & brakes weren't very good when thy ere new. Good luck.
