If you really have no idea of what your looking at other then a green tractor that haws four tires and wheels and has someplace around 5000 hrs , your best bet is find and OLD guy that has worked on them and take him with you and pay the man for his knowledge and time . Even if it cost ya 500 bucks . While you and the seller chit chat let him look it over at his own pace with out interference from the seller . I have gone with people to look over one for them . If i am doing the looking that is what i am there for and i hat when the owner keeps tryen to distract you as he is trying to hide something and wants you to learn about AFTER your the new owner and only then find out that first off ya paid to much to start and it is going to cost you the price once again to get you prize useable . Even i got snoockered on and oliver , the tuition payment on that learning experience was only 950 dollars and the trucking , had i FIXED the tractor i would have had the 3950 i gave for it plus close to that amount just in parts with no labor and the trucking and hauling it off to a sale and placing it in the DEAD row and taking what a salvage buyer gave i only lost 1300 , tough pill to sallow . But the guy that bought it for junk got goofy and decided to FIX it . I knew After i bought it that first off the battrys and starter were junk even though they said the batterys were NEW . I never drove the tractor myself ( first mistake ) Then once i got it home is when we find STUFF wrong . Found the trans mission and rear end were JUNK . So off to the sale it went . Guy that bought it put a whole transmission and rear end on it only to find out the engine was JUNK , i did not get that far . But hey it did have nice paint and sheet metal and good tires .

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Plow and Disc - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
