It was raining so I only too about 10 quick pics. Below are two of the profile pics. I took the hood off, which has a bend and tear at the exhaust hole. The grill is beat up a bit, and would need work. The tank seems dent free. Overall the tractor seems rust free, but has several old leaks with built up gunk.
The guy agreed to $500, plus he would deliver it to me (100 miles). He owns a large farming operation, and said he would have his mechanic try to get it running so we know the engine is good. It had no water (drained to avoid freeze), and no gas. Oil looked black with no water that I could tell. Amongst the things missing, it has, what looks to me, like really long axels. I would like them about half a long as they are. (can they be cut?)
I told him I would wait to see what came up at the Antique Tractor Show auction before I decided. I really wanted a more complete tractor... but maybe I'm being too picky? Here is a list of what parts I would need for it (so far) - Belt pulley
- Narrow double front
- Two old style front rims
- H4 mag (I like the look of these better than the distributers)
- Drawbar support (missing from left side)
- Battery box
- Battery
- Complete wire harness
- Amp box switch
- Starter button bracket
- Left brake spring
- Correct lights (3 of them)
- PTO shield
- Shift knob
- Pre-cleaner jar
- Steering wheel rubber
- Muffler
What do you guys think?

I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
