I don't understand why you would need to see it? with only 36 hrs. on it I would expect it to be just like new! If you really wanted it you would have bought it sight unseen and then made your final inspection when you picked it up. If something was wrong at that time you could have walked away from the deal, or come to an agreement on it. But with only 36 hrs. I think you would know what you are getting. I bet you may have sounded unsure to the seller about buying the tractor, so he went with the sure thing. I don't know for sure if I'm right as I wasen't there. But you didn't state that you were driving 4 1/2 hrs. with a check and a trailer in tow. At that price if I was looking, I would have had a bank check in one hand and chain binders in the other! Good luck in your search, you will find one.
