The guys wife came back over yesterday afternoon. She wrote a check for the trade difference I wanted. She told me to get the "money pit" down the road. She usually is a real quite lady but it seems her husband was still thinking of fixing the problem tractor. I guess she laid down the law to him. LOL He showed up after work (looking kind of sheepish)and drove the JD 4450 home. He called back late last night and told me that even he could tell that this one was a much better tractor than what he bought.
So the JD 4440 is on a trailer heading to Fort Atkinson this afternoon. Son had to go get a load of hay up in MN. So he is dropping the tractor off at the bone yard. I did not put anything back together so it is in several pieces. I really want to make sure this thing stayed "dead".
I did keep the rear tires and rims. So I now have a set of good 20.8 x 38 radial tires. Now I have to decide which tractor gets the better tires. I have two that are getting low on tread but with a new 20.8 x 38 being $1000 plus each, I have just been running them.

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.
