Has anyone ever dealt with this guy out of the UK? He says he can get me a flywheel and center hub for a John Deere G and a block and a head for a John Deere R for $415. In one email he said plus shipping and another one said the $415 included it. Everyone elses prices on this stuff would be 3-4 times this amount without any shipping costs. Has to be a scam. I told him to send pictures and give me casting numbers. I told him he could ship it and upon recieving the items in satisfactory condition I would send payment. He wanted western union or a money gram. I told him Paypal. He answered my wanted ad from this website. Let me know what you guys think. Sound way way too good to be true. Thanks.

Where are you located Atwatead? I have a G flywheel at my brothers place but shipping would probably be horrendous. I am in NW Ia. E-mail me if you are anywhere close.

It's safe to hit the "block e-mail" button on that one. I see the Nigerians have moved to the UK 
The nice thing about Western union is once you send the money, you have absolutely no recourse.
There was a similar scam on Craigslist, where they were selling things and saying, "Buy with confidence, we use EBAY's Buyer Protection Plan". Only took about 5 minutes to see thru that mess... Funny thing was, they had the identical ad in 10 different cities. from Jersey to CA...

I'm in western NY. I found one in minnesota for $100, hub $35, shipping $95 from Harlan Krugar. Looks like my best deal so far. He also had an R coming in that he would sell me block and head for $950. Not sure on shipping. But the tractor is not there for another week or so. It runs but don't know the shape of the engine until he gets it apart.
