And if you were to try to talk them into reasonable money, yup, you just wanna rip me off..
My uncle had a SC Case.. all said and done, it was ROUGH.. But back 30+ ago when he parked it it had new rear tires (which are still good tread, but about shot from weather checking) and the drive chains were new.. It has to be worth a grand, right?
So I try to get it bought.. well, now the engine is stuck, like I said tires are about shot (even though they were new), and he parked it because "I think the mag was goin out or something.. it's been so long ago I can't remember anymore" he says..
Well, I think to myself, if I invested tires and the new drive chains, I would have had a bad mag fixed, so there's probably something else.. Like it's just plum wore out.. So the negotiations begin.. He wants to hold firm, I wanna haggle him down some.. The tractor was in the family for a long time, sure would be nice to save it..
This went on for a long time.. we just couldn't meet on a price.. He scrapped it.. and he says "Well, at least they didn't try to steal it from me!"
Some people ya just can't reason with, but every now and again ya find the person who says "I just want someone to take it and get it goin again and keep it alive and love it like they did".. and they give ya a good deal on it.. I've been fortunate with one or 2 of those kinda guys.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
