Thanks for the advice. This tractor was owned by my Uncle's Uncle. He passed away last week, heart surgery didn't turn out well. I always feel better about buying 'used' stuff from people I sort of know. He is the second owner of the tractor. First owner was a farmer but I don't know how much he would have used it in farming operations. The gentleman that recently owned it (probably 2-3 years) was an appliance repairman, so I don't think he used it in his job in any way. Probably like my hubby, more of a toy. ha Now that we are getting older, we are starting to want more toys.
After the tractor, he's talking about a 4-wheeler, and a 'large' screen tv.
Thanks again for your thoughts!
