I dunno, I can imagine being a little elated about a find like that one, but the situation is really between 2 people, not sure I'd have posted about it if it were me, maybe toned it down a bit probably just some vague description, got a good deal on it or something, knowing the actual details would stir the pot a little here. Heck what's stopping someone from just writing a similar story just to rattle the cage here ?
Obviously a valuable tractor in today's market, not being there, not knowing anything of what happened between the 2 people involved, and or the real feeling of the owner about the deal, how can anyone really comment, hey sometimes a gift or a sweet deal comes your way, sure does not sound like the vulture had been circling waiting to swindle the owner, just waiting for the opportunity. Other times, it's just the opposite, a snake in the grass unfairly rips an owner off, that did not know any better. Good to know what you have and what it's current market value is I suppose.
Last year a customer I've done extensive work for, did something similar, with some vehicle lifts, needed them taken down, and told me to take them as well. I'm sure he knew they had some decent worth, I took em down and sold all but one, probably would never have one for my place if I did not. Even then I felt like a swindler at the time LOL, but I figured over time with other things he needed done, I could save him the worth of those, and always keep an eye out for his best interest whenever I'm involved with something he needs done. Just relating a similar experience, I can understand a situation being like that, not very often do things go like that.
Recently, I saw for sale, in my own state, a variant of a tractor having a somewhat rare option that I'd salivate over just looking at, and or owning. The owner obviously had no clue, it was worth double what it was listed for, even more totally restored, was a highly collectible and or useful model, had to keep myself from looking at the ad again, or I'd have been real tempted. I'm a bit of a reader and or looker when it comes to ads, and every so often, couple times a year, right in plain sight something will stand out as one of those kind of deals where just immediate re-sale may earn you a nice profit or it's a steal to just own it or as an investment to sell later. Like I said I dunno, just some thoughts while enjoying lunch here.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
