Value of B7500 with questionable maintenance history?

[lawn_king]

Too bad, the 7500 is such a nice rig, not too big or small, super reliable, sips fuel and a nitwit can service it!

I will take a good look at the filters when I go back to look at it. The filters that came on both my B3200 and our M9540 from the factory were painted grey, but you could see a tiny bit of white or blue around the edges, making it obvious that they were painted on the tractor.

I went by this evening and scratched a bit of paint off the filters, sure enough they were blue underneath the grey paint. That's the same way that the original filters on my B3200 were, so that tells me it went 1000+ hrs without a fluid/filter change on the trans. :confused2:

There are a lot of B-series for sale it seems so I guess I'll keep looking.

keep an eye on your local market bulletins...
The best thing about market bulletins is they do not get the amount of web traffic as sites like Craig's List etc...
search for other state bulletins that are within easy travel distance...

example: The Market Bulletin - equipment

here are a couple of listings from the GA market bulletin:

Kubota B7500 4X4 2002, 128 hrs., bushhog loader 52'' box rock rake, subsoiler, t plow, near new condition, $9250

Kubota B7200d 17hp 4wd tractor, good condition with low hours, $4000

Thanks for the link. I've been checking the NC ag review classifieds, but I don't think there is such a thing in VA, at least I haven't found one yet.
