L555 everywhere!

[irvi00]

Where are you guys finding all these L555's? I'm in Northern Georgia and mine is the only one I know of around here. I'd love to find another, I just figured most have been used up and junked by now. So let's here it, where you at and how did you come by your L555? I'll start, I traded a Harley-Davidson sportster for mine, throwd keys no money, bout 15 years ago. Toughest skid steer I have ever seen!

I bought mine a few months back from a friends mom. His dad had used it a little around the farm but passed away a couple years ago and the machine sat idle. They had taken it in to the NH dealer to get it fixed cause they couldn't get it to start but NH told them the motor had no compression, was junk and would need a 5000 dollars rebuild. So I bought it for 600 bucks thinking it needed an engine rebuild. Needless to say I have spent 100 dollars on filters and fluids and I have it running great. Starts on the first turn of the key.

Located in SE Missouri and come across an l555 at least a few times a year. Mostly at auctions or ads for sale. They are old enough I always pass but they are out there. Prices run from scrap to $10k depending on the person selling the unit.
