Please Help. Here's my dilema. "Bear" with me because I am very new to the tractor world but desparately seeking advice! I would like to buy the B7500HSD 4x4 w60"/MMM & FEL. I thought my local dealer would have a couple of these on his lot. He said he has one and showed it to me. I asked him what year it was and he said "tractors don't go by years". I thought that to be funny. Surely he could have told me if it was a 2001 or a 2002 model year. It looked like it was sitting for a year outside. I asked him why it said HST on the side of the tractor and he said that it's really a HSD. 1). How do I actually tell if its a HST vs HSD ? 2) How can I really be sure its a 2002 model? Can I ask him for a serial # or something ?? I don't want a B7500HSD thats been sitting for a year! (If it actually is one...) 3). Can I ask him to just order one from somewhere? Where would he order it from? How long would it take? When I looked at the hour meter it reads 6Hrs. 4). Can those hour meter be tinker'd with and turned back just like older model cars ? To me the tractor has the look that its been used more than 6 hrs. The yellow knobs on the controls have a very used look to them. Maybe from sitting outside for a year ( or two!!!). I hate to ask him (local dealer) all those questions but I figure if I'm spending the money I want to get what I ask for. Thanks if you reply.....I'm not even a rookie yet!
