![]() I hate hoarding broken stuff but come on, it's a freaking free tractor! So, I ordered brand new wheels and tires for it, bought a new battery, went back out, and ran it just long enough to drive it onto my trailer, my son standing by with jugs of water to dump into the radiator. He then said I could have the tractor for free if I would just take it. At that point, I told the owner I didn't want it anymore and I would just take the backhoe for the $1,500 paid. Cracked head and cracked thermostat housing. Anyway, after a day of work I got the tractor running (SO much water in the fuel tank!) but unfortunately it seems the last person to add antifreeze decided to use water instead. Knowing it needed new front wheels and that it wasn't running, I offered $2,000 for the package and paid $1,500 on the spot, with the rest due upon pickup. As part of the negotiation, I asked if he wanted to sell the non-running tractor sitting in the field with no front whees that the backhoe had once been attached to. The back story for anyone who cares: The owner was selling a 3-point backhoe attachment for $1,500 which I bought for my brother as a gift. I'm going to try and post a bunch of pictures below.
