I"m not sure what you may have expected in the first place. A tractor in "good condition" would never be inferred by me as being one that did not need any mechanical work, but only one that was running in a manner expected of a 40, 50, or 50 year old tractor. Had it been advertised as "completely restored" or "completely refurbished", then you might expect it to be more than "good" mechanically. I"ve seen Ole"s web site, and by looking at any of their tractors, I would not expect to buy one of them and not have to put some work into it. They simply don"t to my knowledge, sell restored or refurbished tractors. i"m not sure how long you have been around old iron or antique tractors, but for even the better tractors, it isnt hard to sink three or four thousand dollars into a restoration. It is easy to sink $1,000 or more into a set of tires and tubes alone. I don"t think your experience with Ole"s is in any way an incictment upon the integrety of how they do business, unless they are derelect in honoring some sort of expressed warantee. YOu may have a case, but I"d like to see more evidence that they were out to rip you off.

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.
