Took me months to find one last year. Exactly that, no returned calls. Few on the lot, the ones that are have issues (clutch, transmission out or issue, oil floating in water, oil leaks requiring tractor to be split, etc., high hours, unknown hours, basically buy, put in shop on day one, and pay for any repairs of existing issues and hope nothing else is wrong). Budget made no difference. Spend $20k, get crap. Spend $40k, get crap, just a little newer, $60k started to get more reasonable, but still, 8k hours. Craigslist is borderline useless for my area, and no tractors on it, none or rare in classifieds. IH 1086, cheapest I saw was $15k with high hours, Allis and even Case, didn't see one under $12k. 66 series IH was around $12k. Flipper around has a couple small MX IH in at this time, they look "ok", but I was there last year, saw a couple "befores" with live mouse nests and looked like they had been beaten to pieces, one had a calendar from 10 years ago in it and looked like it had been sitting that long, and when asking if actual hours, the response was him shrugging his shoulders. 99% of dealer lots have a row of new tractors, and that's it. I got about 300 miles away looking, had I been able to go further, looked like I could have found something. But, can't leave for that long, ALMOST considered buying something site unseen, because I was very tired of looking around here, but know better than that, unless I could get a whole bunch of stuff in writing (not likely).

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
