Hmm...I saw they were relisted too. Personally, I would have taken the $2,250 bid...unless they weren't exactly on the up and up. Not sure to say, but no surprise they did not hit his BIN or $3K reserve.

Funny, but I am following up on another lead down here in Texas on another set of Deere sleds...in TEXAX?!

Hi Guys,

I have a Texas Bushwacking update: I closed a deal on a pair of 76 Cyclone 440's and a trailer if I want it. Funny, but they came from about the same area as the pair of 440's that are back on Evil Bay. They are down near Houston now, and were purchased in 02 with the intention of being freashened up for the owners hunting cabin in Colorado. All I have to do is go pick them up this weekend. I will have to take pictures of course, as I can't imagine many more sleds being farther south than that.

What were the odds of finding four 440 Cyclones in this state?

Way to go Joe! That is pretty odd finding 4 sleds in Texas. Sounds like you are living up to your reputation.

I think we should put you to a real test. Think you can get transfered to Hawaii? :lol22:

Head west. I'm betting a deere or two found their way across the boarder into the upper range around Juarez. Now that would be a find.
