I see this tractor since I was 7 or 8 years old
and always had a look to it when it passed on the road front of our farm or working in the fields.

The old...old..owner is retiring now he knew that
I like the tractor and he offered it to me but he
wont fix a price he asked me to make an offer.

I really dont need it but I would use it for some
works.If I buy it it is to keep a piece of the past and will be too nostalgic to see it going elsewere. For more than 50 years i saw it around.

The owner explained to us that he had hard time
to pay it...it was a big expense for a small farm
in the 50's.

Many thanks Ron for your reply it gives me guidelines.

Thanks again !!!
