I'd also agree with the comment to "talk to him in person" before you write it off. Who knows the situation? Here's a story from me with similar tractor purchase: About 10 years ago, I purchased an Oliver gasoline 66 on an estate sale. Tractor was not running, engine seized and wheels rusted through. Let's just say I got it for a super low price and it's going to be my retirement project. In other words, I haven't done any restoration to it yet. About a year ago, a co-worker talks to me and asks me if I purchased on Oliver 66 on a farm sale about 10 years ago. I was shocked. I didn't think anybody knew about the tractor. I told him I did. It turns out my co-worker was on the job site and a guy he barely knows asks him about me. Tells my co-worker that the 66 was in him family when his dad purchased it and, as a kid, he had drive it home for 12 hours one day in both the heat and the rain. Says he remembers it like yesterday. (How he found out I purchased it is beyond me) NOW HE WANTS IT BACK! I thought about it a day and told my co-worker that I have no real bond to this tractor, I haven't put any money into it yet, and if the guy wants to give me another 66 in the same shape as this one, he can have it. He even got my phone number. I haven't heard a peep from him yet....

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.
