I'm probably going to stir the pot alittle on this topic, but what do you think of sellers who add heavy oils and engine additives to make an old engine on it's last legs run like a new one for a day to pawn it off on an unsuspecting buyer. I understand from the sellers point of view that he won't get as much for selling the tractor for what it is, but I think it's very dishonest to dump a bunch of stuff in it and claim it runs good. To me, thats just not at all fair and wrong. Sure makes me think twice about buying a tractor at an auction after hearing my neighbors IH 886 before the auction and then during. He had dumped about 4 times the amount he was supposed to use of an engine oil additive and used 50wt oil to make the knocks and smoke go away so it made it run like a new one even though it seriously needed a rebuild, and I imagine this must get done alot.
Whats your thoughts on this?.
