I had a similar one, in the late 70's dad lent out his old D7, and it stayed at his friends place for 25 years. I went and found it in '01 and asked him for possession of it, I had just bought another one in great condition about 1000 serial numbers apart, so even for parts ( perish the thought ! ) it was worth retrieving it, I paid a friend to help me get it, 2 lowboys one brought a D-5 over to pushload it the other to ship it, took 4-5 hours and cost me $500, but the same darn thing applies, had a lot of memories and I enjoy working on these, I hope to get it operational and improve the undercarriage and have dear old dad give me a ride on it like when I was a kid, hard to say why we like these old machines, but it is a nice thing to keep em going and pass em down. I like junk yard dog's idea, make an offer, buy it legit if dad agrees. I think 2 grown men having a dispute over a tractor is ridiculous, I'd explain your reasons, does have sentiment value to you, plenty of tractors to go around, if a B is his fancy.

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
