Well, it got parked after somebody drove by the farm and saw this tractor left out in the field, and they then decided to fill the gas tank with sugar... They SAID they realized what had happened and limped it into this barn to be fixed, and it has sat there for 10-12 years... Carb, and fuel tank are seriously PAPER thin!! Getting parts isn't a problem, and they don't want a full blown restoration, I have higher standards as to what I will allow to roll out of my shop than they do, so I don't think that quality will be a problem, they basically want it cleaned up and running well before haying season, because they are tired of raking hay with their Ford 5000, and this year, I raked it all for them with my to-30, so they want theirs back running. The tractor is in really good shape, and I told him after looking at it for 30 min, that if I was to restore it to my best quality, I would put 2500 into it, i told him that after he had the engine rebuilt, and bought all new rubber, he would probably be in the 5000 range at the highest, he said they didn't want to go over 7000. They aren't concerned about resale value of the tractor, his grandpa bought it brand new, and it will never leave the farm. They just like their stuff to look sharp, so toady I am going up there again to really look it over good, and we are going to talk about pay again, I am thinking I am going to ask 15 an hour, and if he don't like it, then good by!
