oronc · Aug 24, 2012

Just got a VAI,Why? I don't know, They needed money and I'm a sucker,Anyways IT'S ROUGH!!! Looking to part company with it for what I gave for it DON'T LAUGH-$800.00 It does run smokes some,comes with extra hoods, shifters , 2 floor pans Block has been welded does not leak, looks like crap,new 5.00x15 ft. tires and rims. Can part it out.

Dought very seriously if I will bring it back. Will post or e-mail y'all some pics so we all can laugh.

A tractor in rough shape is nothing to laugh about. Put a few dollars into getting it back into operational condition and you gots yourself a fine machine. Brand new in 1948 the tractor would have cost about $710. We will be waiting for some photos...

makes a decent lil tractor to run around the yard with...
