I quit trying to buy tractors from individuals years ago. Got tired of the replies I recived. Try Johns advise, it may or may not work. Cameron has tried many times to buy a tractor just like John suggested only to get some really crummy relies. I have gone with him for years, from the time he was 14 until he was 18, and he was never able to buy a tractor unless it was at an auction. He bought several tractors at auction for less than he offered for them just 3 months earlier. He was always polite and very easy going, but for some reason most people thought he was trying to rip them off. He takes pictures of the 6 tractors he has already restored, always with no luck. Most people think their tractor is worth 10 times what it is really worth. That said, don't give up trying, you may have a different class of people that are willing to sell a tractor. And post a picture when you buy one. Some of us have nothing else to do but enjoy old iron.
