Wonder if someone purposely listed it that way in order to thin the bidder crowd.
That occured a few years back at a local municipal auction on a 60 passenger bus.
It was listed with a host of problems when in fact it had just been given a soft overhaul.
An insider scooped it up for next to nothing.

when i purchased my bulldozer it was from a small township in Pa. their requirement was that the bid had to be posted for 30 days. they posted the notice on a bullitin board in a locked classroom in the town barn. a friends wife did the cleaning and noticed the notice and so i waited until 5 min before the bid closed and put in a fairly low bid $1500 for a cat D4. turns out there were only two bids one for $50 and mine. when i picked up the dozer i got a lot of hard stares.

It looked to be in to good of shape from the pics, to be in the condition that GL discribed it as. I put a bid (low) on it, knowing that I would'nt win, it atleast I could go back and see what it went for. Looks like some lucky party got a Good truck!
Of corse alot of times looks are deciving!

I hope that after you picked it up you went to the next city council meeting with your info and a few of your fellow township citizens.

Well, I was the guy that won this fuel truck. I plann on using it for a farm fuel truck. However, I didn't see this post until I got online this morning to try to find out how to access a manual as I have no idea how the pumping / filtering mechanism works.

As to the truck, just got it home today so don't know what does or doesn't work. But, although the batteries are totally dead (won't even take a charge) it did start at the GL lot with jumper cables (no slave receptical due to being a fuel truck, I guess) and it was driven on my trailer.

Will let you know more.

Thanks,
Ross
