Long

The tractor is in good shape , sheet metal , paint , etc. . New back tires , good front tires . He told me that the tractor ran fine , before he went on a 3 month trip this year but will not start now . Tractor will turn over but does not start . He has replaced the coil , points , condensor , plugs and plug wires . I did not mess with it but I suspect it is a fairly easy fix so it does not worry me . He says that the hydraulics will lift the front end off the ground and will stay up for a long time , one brake is bad and one is good . He also says that something on the end of the shifter lever ( a tee ? ) needs some reworking .
Engine was rebuilt sometime in the last 30 years , has good oil pressure and does not smoke .

He is a straight shooter and I do trust his word .

He has kept this tractor in his garage since he bought it .

His price is $ 2000 Firm .

Given what seem to be minor problems , is this a good price ?

Are parts a problem ?

Thanks in advance for the help !

Sounds like a fair deal . I am going to buy it .

Ironically , my Grandfather once owned the John Deere dealership in town in the 40's and 50's and had an A and a 1010 Special at his farm . Who knows , he may have sold this very tractor when it was new .

Thanks again , I can't wait to hear that 2 cylinder run . They sound so cool !
