I'd say that's an embellishment by Teitsworth. |

A bottom end built by Mark is far from being built by Mark Hootman. Jeff set the head and did the fuel and turbo system. That tractor would have run different altogether if Mark had built it start to finish. |

Well to me it sounds like it is fair to say Hootman built tractor. What needs to be the extent of build for you to think it is okay? |
Re: Ripper Auction

That tractor is going to bring a lot less at the auction if they know it doesn't run. |

Parts were brought to Mark, he assembled the bottom end, which I'm sure is meticulous, and then the tractor was hauled out and Jeff finished the rest. That constitutes a Hootman motor/tractor? Doesn't have Mark's mag system on it, his turbos or his fuel system. There were a lot of other hands in that tractor that were far below the caliber of Mark. So no, I don't consider it built by Mark. Having someone assemble your parts in a bottom end does not make it his. If Jeff had stayed out of it, Jack would've gotten down the track a lot sooner than Pike. Edited 1 time(s).

Keep beating it down and someone( maybe the guy bashing) will get a great deal. Especially if they know what's wrong with it. |

I do know what's wrong with it Hitchpin, but I'm not shopping, I'm building for a different class. The part that bothers me is that I know the Hootmans, and I have the utmost respect for them. I don't want someone to think they are getting a "Hootman tractor", be dissatisfied with it, and then badmouth Mark's good name. There's no one else who I'd want involved in a SS build than that man and his son. |

Auctioneers sell everything "as-is, where-is" and make their money based on commission of the price of the item. Since the auctioneer is only acting as the salesperson with no guarantee or warranty to worry about, why does it surprise you that things might be embellished? I am always surprised to see things bring a higher price at an auction than I could purchase it from a store or dealership. Nobody is going to rush in and buy the ripper based on what an auction advertisement says, as they will look at the posted results from last year and ask around the people in the sport about the tractor. What was your point of starting this thread? |

Is Jack's tractor going to be pulling in esp next year? |
Re: Ripper Auction
|
guess
|
My guess is that it doesn't meet the reserve price and it will be listed in the sales section next week. I would be surprised if it sticks in WNY. |
Re: Ripper Auction

Maybe baby
|

Just because it's in a auction doesn't mean it doesn't have a reserve on it. I don't know this man but if he has a widow it could have a reserve and if he was a single man and no children and it's a true estate auction then it probably won't have a reserve. Would someone please let us that can't be there know the outcome of the sale of the tractor. |
Re: Ripper Auction

Guess
|
It is staying in ny for now

Re: Ripper Auction

ANYONE!!! if it gets sold to someone in wisconsin do you think they will be pulling it in ESP next year???? "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

Hayes' around Albany would make sense, as Gaetan is from Fort Covington, on the NY-Canada border... |
