B-I-L needs a 219 engine for his 1294 DB. Richard Brown answered our ad here in Classified ads . Called my number and told me they need to get stuff off property asap. We spoke a minute or less and I forwarded him to B-I-l..next , I called B-I_l ,I had just told Joel that the guy said the tractor had been wrecked and that was a redflag to me ..Then .. the guy was already on call waiting.I told Joel Be careful . This May be too GOOD to be True ,And we ended our call ,.fff-forward 5 hours - At the end of Day , i called to see how all went .You guessed it , W-union $545 down the drain. B-I_L says The Guy seemed knowledgeable on 1294s and other makes and models.told his hard luck and loves story and after 10 minutes won Joels trust.Claimed this was a GOOD motor He had on Craigs list. and he waited for several no showbuyers over the last yr. he had run out of time and the scrap bin was there and his friend showed him our ad. Said he was making a mint on property and wanted to help a guy out . 200 for engine . he would find out shipping from his pal at J--- B---- Trucking,in Reno..THOSE Folks are legitament and did their level best to help after the fact ..He calls back Joel,said He got a short load price of 315 to Indiana . But had to move fast Because the Truck was rolling out before daybreak toward the east coast..I wish Joel would had called Me ,but He knew I was in Mtgs ,but He coulda called my brother or his own son to stop and think ..
