U302 on Criag's list cheap

So I just saw an ad on Craig's for a MM U302 in the lake of the Ozarks Craig's list. Price is $500 and come with a pair of spare rear tires. If I had the $$ I would jump on it right now but I do not have the $$ at this time.
 
Not a lot of info on it. Just says last ran 2 years ago and has flat tires and has a number of other equipment with it if one wants to spend more $$. While it might be a good back up for my Oliver S88 it is not really something I need. I already have to many tractors
 
I hear you on to many tractors but really like MM. Sadly you could put thousands in it.
 
Only reason I would look at it if I had the $$ is because if should have pretty much the same power as my Oliver S88. The pictures look like it would not take much to get it running but one never knows about that till one gets hands on
 
That and 670 would be close to 88. That used 320 engine some parts were unique some from 670 some from jet star.
 
That stuff I would not know. In this area there is not a lot of MM tractors around. I do have a RTU but it has major engine problems
 
And there's one fewer than there used to be! I bought an MM 4 Star Super from an old boy out of Cole Camp, which is south of Sedalia, a few years back.

He wasn't very prosperous, but was a gracious host and a very nice guy- cold drinks, sit in the shade and talk a bit after the deal was made. I had a guy with a semi who would haul it, but I didn't know when- he kept a list of stuff around the country that he could finish out a load with, but could be up to a year. He was hauling it 1,900 miles for 500 bucks, so I was in no hurry. The seller's driveway was really steep, and he wasn't sure a semi could make it, so he said he'd haul it to Sedalia, about 15 miles, if the hauler gave him a day's notice.

The great day finally arrived, and the hauler told me the story: The guy was there with the tractor, and it was running. But he told the hauler "Don't kill it when you load, because the battery's shot, I jumped it with my pickup." Hauler told him that wasn't going to work, because he had 3 other tractors on the load, and he needed them to run so he could shuffle them around as need be. And here's where the hauler was grinning and shaking his head. "The old boy went out to his pickup, started it up, then took the BRAND NEW BATTERY out of the pickup and put it on the Moline. I couldn't believe it." And the hauler made me make a solemn promise that I would send the guy money for a new battery, which of course, I did.

Don't know if everyone in Missouri is that accommodating, Old, but I was sure impressed.
