My Neighbor & I went to a Auction that had a 40T John Deere tractor , stated a fixer upper.. At that auction my neighbor bid it up to 490.00 & it didn't sell.. Guy Who Owned it said he needed 650.00 for it.. We thought about it but didn't buy it. The tractor really looked decent, & we seen it again at a monthly auction house, this time I talked to the guy & asked some questions & he said the engine was locked up, was running fine until he tried to start it one day & it wouldn't turn over. That was about a year ago he said.. I told my neighbor to go ahead bid more if needed I bet the starter is locked in the flywheel, even the owner said his mechanic looked at it & said it would need a complete over haul. He ( the Mechanic offered him 300.00 for it ) At this auction it kinda stalled at 450.00 & it didn't sell, this time we offered to the owner 550.00 in cash, I told him he was losing 10% of the sale price as it was & he agreed to sell & for another 25.00 he'd deliver it since it was only 5 miles out of his way home.. We rolled it off & he said Good Luck with it, was always a good little tractor. I looked at the starter & took out the one bolt tapped it a couple times & removed the timing hole, turned the engine flywheel with a screw driver & I was smiling! & retightened the starter, this time the starter tried to work but the drive was broken. So I took the rest of the parts off needed to remove the starter & installed a new drive.. Well he was right that a nice little tractor & that is all my neighbor has done to it in the last 5 years except a new battery. I think this man would have taken it to a couple more sales & lost more Money if we hadn't stepped in.
