If you saw the picture I put on your last post, I paid $1000 for that tractor and rented a trailer and hauled it behind my new (at the time) F150. Picture was still in my clipboard so here she is again. One thing I will never do is buy a tractor from a photo. The one you see here, for example does not tell you that it has a front wheel bearing that is destroyed AND took the hub with it. The Monroe seat looks nice but it has seen better days. The wiring is not original but at least 20 years old, cracked, and soon to overheat to dangerous levels. Alternator is hooked up wrong and not charging. Engine is out of time. Etc. I could also show you a picture of a crawler I have that seized up taking it off the trailer. Obviously something up there and IT did not show up in the pic either. If you really want that B, 80 miles is an hour drive. Deliver the check, bring home the crank, manuals, etc. and THEN go back when you have more time. But I agree you should buy it. I hope you do and get right to work on it. I would like to read your posts while I am stuck in this office all winter!
