Paint can make or break a deal. Round here we have lots of "property" owners fromt he cities. Lot of em want an old tractor, some just for looks when they have friends visit, some actually use em to do a litlle mowing or push snow. These people know very little abouot tractors and will buy about anything thats shiney. I stoped and looked at a Ford 861D a few weeks ago and tlaked to the old guy who was selling it. He told me 6500, I put new rings in it last year....and so on and so forth. Really nice paint job on it. Then he tells me and I used 200 LBS of sand to blast it before painting.....and I'm looking at tie rod ends missing boots and thinking about all the places that got sand in it. In the fifty feet walking to my truck after teling the just that I wasn't interested his price went to 6000, then 5800 then 5500 as I was closing the door. Drove past his place the other day and it was gone......Fresh paint scares me! Now this fall I have to rebuild the engine on my 8N and do a little work on the hydraulics...while it's apart it's getting painted.....but then I know when and how. Whole different story......oh yea....I'm farming not showing so blasting to me can be bad.
