Might make a deal on this one.
The tractor, not the mailbox.

(quoted from post at 15:36:06 07/28/20) Now that's some nice rust.

I give it a thumbs-up! :)

Thanks, SweetFeet--the owner was good enough to let me take some pics, said she'd been relying on her neighbor to tow-start her and now he's gone and the tractor is just sitting. There is also a belly-mower buried under the weeds and I believe it's an original IH mower.

Did you notice how the mailbox is squeezed so it looks like its tongue is sticking out? Been through a rough time.

Looks like a decent Super A, with a Super C or C "after market" touch control semi-attached for who knows what purpose. Looks pretty straight, may have fair tires. If the price is right, might be a good project.
 
Funny, regarding the mailbox. :)

Looking at the pics again, just have to say how much some green adds to pics of rust.

Gonna keep 'er rusty, iffen ya buy it? :)

I'd go for a mechanical restoration, can't see making that old tractor look pretty again. That's a project for someone else :)
Owner says at very least it needs a starter, probably some other things along the way. Oh--battery, too. Forgot to ask how long it's been sitting, looks to be a few years out in the field.

(quoted from post at 23:20:49 07/28/20) Hasn't been sitting there too long no perennial vines,blackberries or trees growing up thru it.

You may be right. I was just excited to see an old tractor in the weeds, forgot to ask the owner how long it had been sitting.
