Thanks. I made a typo. I meant L2800. Went and looked and it says its L2800HST-R (or L2800-DHV) with LA463 front end loader on it. I'd say it is in fair to good condition.
I wonder if I can find out the year from the serial number somehow.
Meanwhile, the guy who came by who wants to buy the tractor offered to help do some work to help us out. He arrived around 6:30am and bush-hogged the yard. I'd told him Mom wanted to hire him to cut down some small trees that had gone crazy in the chicken yard. While I was showing him the trees he told me that his aunt and uncle used to live here back when it was all forest and that he had helped clear the land to make fields for crops. He noticed that a water line I'd capped was leaking from underground. The shutoff for it had been inside a plastic cylinder but the lid had come off at some point and a friggin' pine tree grew inside of it and had broken the line. When I went up to the pump-house to shut the water off, I discovered that one of the fittings going from the cistern to the pump was leaking. I shut off the main water line and water just started shooting out of the joint. I shut off the water from the cistern and it continued to spray (I think backflow from the pressure tank). So I told the guy and he came up and looked at it. He went back to his house to get some stuff and then spent awhile figuring out how to fix it. He patched it up and then went down and dug up the broken line and capped it. Waited until the glue set and turned the main water back on, but left the outside water off.
He said he'll have to come back another time to clear fallen branches and do some more bush-hogging. I asked him how much we owed him and he said "nothing". He really is a sweet guy. But we are still going to pay him *something*. It probably cost him quite a bit for the gas in his tractor.
Edit: I told you those deer like to run in front of cars!
