    I would have loved to take it but it was a junk tractor the one back rim was rusted threw almost 1/4 of it was gone all tires were bad no gas cap or tin can on the exhaust and no water in it with coolant hoses cut open. A few parts would have been pulled but most of it would have been scrapped. They are not very expensive here in mn its common because they were made in hudson mn. I saw running driving selling for 1500-1900 after onlibe searches so after new rubber and a rim 6v battery and who knows what else to get it going I could have almost bought one for a couple hundred more running. It was 40 miles from home so its not worth going back for. I deal mostly with appliances and cars. It was just a project for the afternoon on some down time. With unprpared at 70 and prepared at 110 the only profit after disposal of the tires would have been the copper radiator and battery starter and alittle copper wire. I wasnt the first to try she said aome guys bought some old equipment last week.
