Raleigh, I too have been following this story as the others have also. So here my $.02.... Buy it!! A 100 horse tractor asking $8000, 30 yrs old, may or maynot need minor repair for up to $1000, on a gas motor that you can work on, no special tools needed. And has a loader too. Go buy it! GO Get the $8000 in CASH!!! (7 bundles of 1K each, in $100 bills) still with the bank seals around it. The other 1k, break up into 2 bundles of $500. one in your front pocket the other in your back. Go see the man, pull out the $7000 cash, and show it too him when you offer that to him, plead your best poor mouth lines, if he take it good, it not, offer to split the difference,,,Cash also,pull out a $500 bundle..I will bet a "Big Red" sodawater he takes it! If he doesn't, then pay the rest. If he takes it a $7500, then there is $500 for repairs now in your hip pocket. if not you are none-the-worse-for-wear had you paid his his asking price. Good Luck. Later, John A.
