Back in the saddle again

Saw a nice 801 Selecto for sale at a fair price for the condition it was in. I'm in New Hampshire and the tractor is in Sioux City, Iowa. It still has the original and rare 801 Series front emblem on it, and it has been meticuloulsy cared for. Sheetmetal is near perfect on fenders and hood. New tires, Woods 6 foot bush hog mower (I don't need..interested?). Oil pressure is running at 65 idle and all original gauges work.

But I needed a 703 Front End Loader. So, a photo ad had one coincidentally for sale in Robins, Iowa on the east side. Now I need to mate the two, and that's a long ways to develop a courtship. But I think I can get the tractor hauled to Iowa.

But here's the rest of the story...

The purchaser of the 841 I recently sold is driving up from Colorado. He said he would pick up the tractor and loader in Robins, Iowa, drive it to NH, and picking up the 841 to haul back to Colorado and eventually to Texas.

Something's not right...it usually doesn't work this easy.

Sounds like you're lucky with not having to take a road trip, mine never seem to work that way.

Luck with the new guy.

But, with all of the $ tied up in the Elenco, it makes sense to have a less valuable tractor with less $ tied up for our needs at this time. Perhaps someday, down the road, I'll git me an Elenco if I need it. But, what I would like to find some day is a Model A pickup truck.

And, if I ever need a blood transfuion? I'll tell the Doctor it's type "N" in me and it's stuck in there (N for tractor). 9N'er
