Every bit of energy you do not have to invest in getting the machine running at top notch condition, you must pay for in cash at purchase time. So a perfect running, sound machine blessed by a mechanic is worth every penny. If you want cheaper, buy a wreck and fix it yourself. But I guarantee 3400 is not a thieving price from the owner who invested time and money into getting it running good. Don't be fooled by the prices of other farmalls going so cheap, the M's and H's for sale for 1200 or less, are not rebuilt engines or trannies, we are talking as is running, baling wire hold it together routine. Do one up right, and an H or M will sell for 2500 no problem because the buyer can trust that it has been gone through and is mechanically sound. What a fella pays for is up to him. What do you want? Piece of mind that you can trust your tractor? Or a cobbled up piece of unreliable crap that has a specific job to fulfill for a business reason? I am not being a hardnose, just saying that you get what you pay for. But expect that biatch to be a top notch running machine, no leaks, not a freaking dent on the tin for that price.
