Seen this while looking for the sprockets... 

Allis Chalmers HD 11 B - $1500 (concord)

Lots of those ads by those that really do not want to sell, just a Wife appeaser.

There is a good map on the ad.  Perhaps a person could Google Earth it and drive to the location and knock on the door of the house,  couldn't be any worse then getting shot...

Yeah, these old farts listing stuff and never answering inquiries are about as annoying as other farts stating 'If I don't get my asking price, I'll just load it up and haul it to the scrapper". They probably have an American flag sticker on their import truck.

Takes all kinds. I saw an ad for a collector car. The guy wanted way to much for it. Part of the ad read: "if I don't get my asking price, then I'll cherry it out and then you'll have to pay big bucks to get it".

I felt like calling the guy up and saying, 'hey dude, why are you cheating yourself out of big bucks? Just go ahead and restore it and make the big money on it.'

Lets see, "Runs Good" but starter is locked up. Hmmm I suspect something else is wrong like engine is seized and he will probably want his money BEFORE the work starts.

Looked at a old d4 a while back . man said the pony was out on it but it would run . I hooked a chain up to a 1 ton truck and gave it a shot of either and bam it started alright but it knocked like all get out . he said it sounded like that till it warmed up. I shut it off and told him I would have to think on it .I found out later by another guy that the pony was fine and the guy had hit a stump with the belly pan off and ran it low on oil .he patched the oil pan and replaced the belly pan.

Ran When Parked always come to mind but no way to hear it run. First sign of Not Gonna Buy That One syndrome.

Butthead had a machine for sale before I bought the 7G, was a early 977K, said work ready until I decided to go drive it. He said would start and run but was having some minor steering issues, I backed off. Another guy I knew bought it, had to replace everything in the finals and steering clutches, did get it for a bargain after showing the owner what was wrong(Massive Metal on drain plugs).

Then there was they guy that had my parts machine in Lebanon MO, just needed a little engine work, "Minor Issues" Just needed a head that had been lost to time. Engine block is epoxy patched, oil in coolant still in radiator and cylinders flat rusted together, no head, no turbo or manifolds, no oil coolers. Man what a mess but did have good rails on it and a GP bucket I rebuilt that works Great Now.

I looked at a massy 135 diesel a few years ago that was on cl for 1500.00 that was suspose to run when parked and just needed a little tlc. drove about 60 miles to where it was at .the man had pulled it up the the barn with a deere and as I inspected it there was a 3 inch hole in the block right close to the starter .I walked around and acted like I didn't see anything and asked him if I could put a battery on it and see if it would turn over .he said im kinda in a hurry and he had people waiting in line to buy it and I was the first to ask and so on and so on .I said I was going to pass and he  acted like I just wasted his time and carrying on. I said you might want to tell the next person in line theres a hole in the block and I got in my truck and came home with a empty trailer.

Yes, Very very strange method of doing business especially for this machine.
