Bill said the Costa Rican guy has a bunch of tractors, has always bought all his parts from Bill, and solely wants to keep his tractors running.
As far as selling from Costa Rica, I really doubt that. Just think of the telephone charges, not to mention the shipping duties. We're talking about an area that's farmland and jungle.
And as I've said before, Bill is not coughing up ANYTHING. He doesn't want to screw up his 100K deal.

>The sale price is about $100,000.00 (must be one big organic farm). Ok, I am little slow but this looks more like the start of a new "Electric Tractor" company than an Organic farm. Clearly this Costa Rican fellow is going into production at some level and sees an opportunity. Costa Rican corporate farms can be very large operations. However, This guy see the potential of ETs in South America. BTW this has been done in Asia with several other tractor lines (notably the old Massy Ferguson) where simple dependable equipment is needed. I suspect he is either a E list member or lurking (hi there and welcome) As for the rest of us, hey there may be hope we might be buying New Parts from Costa Rico. It was this way for punch buggies for a long time. I had to go back to school to learn about Electro mechanical stuff, maybe now I'll go back and learn Spanish. If Costa Rican Guy has a fax and e-mail we could be ahead of the game. WRT Decals Bill was getting them from a third party, perhaps we could ask Bill for that contact. Can't see what good this information would be to anybody but the list folks.
