My 25 yo Craftsman rototiller is on its last legs. It sputters. Doesn't run at full power. I checked compression and its down to 60 PSI.
So I've been shopping for other options. Went to Facebook Marketplace to see what's there.
Found a Cub Cadet RT65 . They were asking $500, said bought last year for $800 and used once. Located about an hour drive away.
Contacted seller, and right off he tells me its in great shape, was owned by wife's granpa who had passed, and only used 2 or 3 times. I'm thinkin, well OK, I thought it was once. From pics provided, it did not look well worn. So I asked him for a pic of the serial number plate. And he sent me one. Decoding the SN said the tiller was made in Feb 2011.
Man, IDK what the guy was selling. I've had good and bad experience with CL and FB Marketplace, but ya gotta watch your step. I was ready to drive to the fellas place and make an offer.
