    somethings just wont move

    I went and looked at a minneapolis moline z tractor today I offered 40 a ton for it not much of a margine for me its only a 3700 lb tractor. I filled the tires and got 2 out of 4 to hold air not perfect but a good start so I backed the trailer up to it chained it up and started working the magic with my come along the truck and trailer moved. Not a suprize they said 15 years its sat so I dropped the trailer and chained the tractor to my truck. 88 silverado 1 ton with a 454 thinking heres the ticket to loosen it up. After 5 or 6 tugs it wasnt moving so the woman said my husband will be home in about half an hour he has a 1 ton pick up too. So hurry up and wait he shows up and we hook his f350 diesel to it and give it 5 tugs with both trucks and it didnt budge. So after 2 1 ton pickups worth ot torqe and weight I was out of ideas and just called it a wash and a learning experience and a good laugh on the way home. Just because it seems easy it wont be.
