I'd also agree with the comment to "talk to him in person" before you write it off. Who knows the situation? Here's a story from me with similar tractor purchase: About 10 years ago, I purchased an Oliver gasoline 66 on an estate sale. Tractor was not running, engine seized and wheels rusted through. Let's just say I got it for a super low price and it's going to be my retirement project. In other words, I haven't done any restoration to it yet. About a year ago, a co-worker talks to me and asks me if I purchased on Oliver 66 on a farm sale about 10 years ago. I was shocked. I didn't think anybody knew about the tractor. I told him I did. It turns out my co-worker was on the job site and a guy he barely knows asks him about me. Tells my co-worker that the 66 was in him family when his dad purchased it and, as a kid, he had drive it home for 12 hours one day in both the heat and the rain. Says he remembers it like yesterday. (How he found out I purchased it is beyond me) NOW HE WANTS IT BACK! I thought about it a day and told my co-worker that I have no real bond to this tractor, I haven't put any money into it yet, and if the guy wants to give me another 66 in the same shape as this one, he can have it. He even got my phone number. I haven't heard a peep from him yet....

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
