Price is right, bring the cash and a trailer with you, if that 3600 has not been baked by the fire, it's possible or very likely to be a good deal. If he is set on scrapping it if not sold, the first hint of a srapper being involved tells me to have cash in hand and a trailer ready with something like this, you never know. Don't be too worried about the front axle pivot pin too much, it's relatively minor compared to the rest of the tractor's value, just a wear item to know about, again if it was not cooked, to the point where gaskets, seals, o-rings, and fluids are burnt etc. ,and metal fatigue from heat, sounds like it was just scathed avoiding serious damage. Scrappers make me nervous as they tend to jump the gun to get their hands on things, convincing owners that whatever it is, is junk in many instances, I'd be all over this one to see what the deal is before a scrapper shows up or the owner changes his mind. I had that happen over a weekend over a '68 firebird converible 350 V-8 with 53,000 miles on it as a kid, told him it was sold friday he brought it in to work, he worked for us and we were on a crew together '83, told him I'd have $700 cash in hand on monday morning, had to get to the bank on Sat., he sold it over the weekend, never forgot that one, learned that early in life, no time like the present to make a deal when it's right.
