There was an old VA sitting out south of town next to a
ranchers' feedlot....been there for 20 years. We'd pass it
everytime we took the kids swimming at the hot springs
and my eyes would glaze over....EVERYtime! One day I
took off in the pickup and went down there....nobody was
home so I started with the nearest neighbor and got the
owners' name and he was in the phone book. Turned out
that he actually lived in town so I called him and set up
a meeting at the ranch to see the tractor. On the
meeting day we checked out the tractor ('47 Case VAC
single-front) and he allowed that he probably would sell
it since he could not find the carburetor, distributor or
generator for it but didn't know what it was worth. I
told him that he could haul it to the scrap yard and
they'd give him about 50 bucks for it at the going rate
OR he could take my 75 and let ME haul it off.......I should
have it running this spring. :-)
