The only change I made was to * the phone number. I counted 10 misspellings and several grammatical errors. Now, I don't normally begrudge a person poor English skills, but come on! If you can't spell "paint" or "pulls" sheeesh!

This is not a sign of poor grammar.
It's a dead give away of a scam artist.

LE Brown, I think it's a real ad for a real MM tractor. It has a local phone number. I just think it's either a person that was too hurried to double check what was written or that can't spell very well.

Good Evenin JB,
Im not so sure this guy is as stupid as he sounds, I bet he got a bunch of people to take a close look at his ad, including yourself ! ;):)

tanked up and ready to type... lets see if I can Translate... Nope... I need to drink some more...

Maybe it should read.... "The tractor is field ready, all set up to go, tires are 16-9, purchased from a co-op, has a front weight bar, rebuilt motor, tractor can pull 5500 lbs, maybe more. The paint job is "ok" just not the greatest. I am selling the tractor because I want to get a bigger tractor that runs and drives better. $5000 firm but would take less without the tax and wheels." :D

I worked with someone who was like this... (and I'm not much better ;))
