Is it rude to seek proof of claims regarding buying a used tractor?
Example: Looking at a 1971 Allis Chalmers 170, 7000+hrs. on it. Owner claimes tractor went in and was split in a shop 500 hrs. ago and the engine rebuilt and new clutch bearings put in.
Can you ask straight out to see the paperwork on repairs?
How can this be verified without coming across as untrusting?
