P. Backus- I can't comment too much on the tractor itself, 'cause I know less than you do about it, but I can talk about buying stuff in general. My state of alert always goes up when I'm dealing with guys who buy something to fix up and sell. My experience has been that you really have to watch for cut corners on the repairs. The tractor has a market value, so whatever he does, plus a little profit, cannot exceed that value. The trouble is, as the Vet said, you don't really know the extent of the repairs needed to a "fixer-upper" and you could find that you'll have more invested that the unit is worth. That's when a guy's basic sense of honesty will be tested. Some guys pass the test, others don't. Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but it jumped out at me to answer.
