no I didn't buy it. The guy started parting it out and is about 8 hours away. i might end up with the running gear, and i might put my 2cyl motor on it
That's a pretty good haul and would have cost a few bucks in fuel and everything else that goes with it. Parting out a broken tractor makes sense if a person has time/tools/ambition to take it all apart. I can understand why he would do that. I'd be willing to bet there are quite a few "collectible" tractors lying around peoples properties that would make great deals if only they were offered up. I was driving around my neck-of-the-woods yesterday and saw all kinds of interesting things - none of it actively being sold, but I'd bet the owners just don't want to take the time to put it up for sale. Keep your eye out and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. It takes time but I'm learning that even at the time it takes to acquire things I'm looking for I still can't keep up fixing them before I find something else to drag home that needs to be worked on :confused2:
