Anyone have or know folsk with a Panther crawler?

Is the one that was on craigslist a few weeks back?

There have been two on CR in the past three months. This is one of the two.

I saw one on Sacramento Craigslist, thought about for a second, but passed on it. Sorry don't know anything about this tractor. Have you tried searching yahoo groups.. "garden crawlers" or something like that.

Dunefanatic, I know a guy. Sent you an e-mail.

I stumbled onto once at lunch time on my old work computer. That guy was an authority on ALL those little crawlers. He had compiled all kinds of data on the mini's with some photographic evidence.

Wish I could remember how I found his page????
