Lots of eccentric people also have a heart.

Your dad might give you the best take on the guy.

But most people are glad to see a younger person take interest in something of their generation.

Facts:

1 Tractor was pulled out of barn (he doesn't think it is trash)

2 Tractor is still there, he did not haul it off for scrap (knows it has some value

In my opinion, most old guys like me don't like to get scammed, screwed, etc. If it were mine I would give it to you so long as you could convince me you weren't going to turn a fast buck with it.

I'm a blacksmith. I found a $1,000 trip hammer (Little Giant 50#) at a farm auction for $15. Nobody bidding. After I'd had it for ten years, the previous owner's grandson asked about it. He was going into business as a blacksmith and wanted it. I sold it ot him for $200 on the understanding I'd get first right of refusal if he decided to sell it. I felt guilty asking more than $15. If he's any kind of man he'll give it to you.
