Murphy, having been previously involved and still recuperating from your "good-but-used" tractor finds of the past... the picture I have in my mind prompts me to posit questions you might want to ask yourself before the purchase of your new machine... How long would you have to tinker with it and what would you have to C-clamp on before you attempted moving it?? Are the surrounding and scattered parts to the tractor grown up in the weeds or trees or sunk into the ground? If locatable, do they appear to have come from the same (or a similar) model tractor? Does it have a seat and gas tank? Exhaust manifold and muffler? Is the engine good (i.e. currently freed up or only recently seized)? Does it have any sheet-metal? Will it hold any fluids or has it held any in the recent past (i.e. living memory)? Tires? Does it come WITH the duals or does it HAVE ON the duals? All these are positive attributes that add to the operating experience on daily-driver tractors. Another question one might ask themself when considering "good but used" tractors is.. "do I have any friends left to go in partnership with?"... See ya Thursday Murph!!!
