    1978 F-250 Custom $1500

    It's down in LaMarque. Don't know any history than the guy giving it to me. Said it runs. Drives it everyday for a minimal number of feet. Purpose of truck is to park it in front of his lawn shop every night to keep anyone from stealing. Then moves it to other side of shop every morning. Runs it for an hour every weekend. Body in decent shape. Normal rust. Interior has holes in floorboard. Exterior - burnt orange . Regular cab, 8' bed. 400 engine. manual tranny w/granny gear. brand new tires, wheels, and brakes. stock 4x4. he wants to part it out, but said would give it away for said price. hell, you could get $2500 for engine, tranny, t-case, and axles.

    it isnt worth that much for the parts axles in awesome shape worth about 600 for the pair, engine isnt worth maybe 200 if it runs awesome with good oil pressure, prolly hundred for the t case and maybe 150 for the tranny.
    He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!

    don't know what you are thinking but JD commercial rocks. Thicker materials, better design, fast parts delivery, and I can get just about anything serviced in a half day.

    Toro is just a bad copy; they haven't designed anything new in years. Same goes fro their irrigation line. Problem with people like exmark is you have to deal with small local shops and they are slow on turn around. A day down is a day lost revenue, much less half a week.

    I have had plenty of guys who have worked for the greenery in the past who would not speak well of Exmark compared to Deere. But it is a free country, buy what you like. My ZTR has 1700 hours and been the shop twice in four years, seems like a good buy to me. Then again I have only been in business for 6 years, so you never know.

    TORO irrigation is infact sh!t...rainbird has the market hands down...as for TORO mowers being ****...we never had any problems with the three commercial push mowers or the 48" walk behind that we had(that sum***** was fast as hell). i dont know what the cost of the deere mowers are but the commercial TORO push mowers are $900 and the walk behind was something like 5000. we used ECHO for the edgers, weedeaters, blowers, and hedgetrimmers. i believe they are good as long as they dont sit out in the rain all winter without ever being started. also they are pretty much the same as STHL.

    saddly all that stuff is now gone as some asshat thief decided he needed our 16' trailer loaded down with 3 TORO push mowers, 48" TORO walk behind, 3 ECHO weedeaters, 2 ECHO edgers, 3 ECHO blowers, and 2 ECHO hedge trimmers. Thats not counting all the misc. parts and supplies that were on the trailer. We lost our ass on that cause the damn homeowners insurance said the stuff was for commercial use and not home use ...guess we should have had commercial insurance on it.
