Its not a lot of money . But.............

I guess the last part I will describe is the conditions of which the item is being sold. I know this individual is in great need of money and is not selling by choice. As a matter of fact I am pretty sure he will take less if I bring to his attention the cost I will incur to make the repairs. (I would kinda feel like a smuck beating a person in need, out of money though) Therefore I do not believe that he is selling due to a known needed critical repair that the tractor needs. But on the same token I am pretty sure he performed NO maintenance on it either????

The only implement he has is the bush hog so I know all that he has done with it was bush hog..

Just for my piece of mind I will ask him if I can remove the inspection plates and spend some time looking it over. If he says no I will simply offer seven hundred as is and take my chances. If he counters I will accept any counter up to eight hundred. If he refuses then I will walk away and wait for one with a loader and spend the extra money when that day comes....
