I am new to antique tractors and have I have two questions regarding the Farmall AV. First, are they somewhat rare, or were less produced that the A? I have the opportunity to buy one, the guy selling says it's around a 1950, but here's the story behind it. He used to to farm a good sized plot every year and then two years ago, between uses, some kids came along and stole the radiator cap. Come to find out, the next day it rained. Now the tractor won't run. The owner claims everything else worked great before this unfortunate incident, and he still cares enough about it that all the pipes coming out of the hood are covered with cans. The sheetmetal is pretty good wity only 1 dent. The whole tractor is covered with surface rust, and there is only 1 spot the size of a quarter rusted through in the top of the battery box. The rear tires have good tread but are weather cracked, and the fronts need to be replaced. All tires hold air. He is asking $2300 for it. First, is this price fair? and Second, what might it need to run again seeing it had water enter the radiator cap 2 years ago? Thank you Tom
