Hugh I don't know why you have to take it so personal when folks want to use an older "big" tractor for some light work. If the guy has the money to maintain the thing so what? Its no skin off my nose or yours. He may be well enough off he doesn't care about the bills. You assume every 9 or 1066 on every lot or farm is on the cusp of needing a front to back overhaul. That is not true. There are plenty of those old tractors that have had an easy life and good care that will last a long time yet with little $$ spent on them. I should think brush hogging will bring on a lot less repairs than heavy work. As for your argument about your Super A and the repairs on it versus a 966.....Get real. The guy doesn't want to live on a Super A all summer long to do his 11 acres and custom work. Sure your Super A will need fewer dollars spent on it but I think time is a big consideration for the guy. Just where in my post did I suggest that this man buythe tractor based on a drive through the lot? I told him he had better make damn sure the tractor was in top condition or he COULD be looking at big repairs. I have followed the saga of Allen's 966 closely. I saw pictures of Allen's tractor when he bought it. I believe he bought it with the knowledge that it would need extensive repairs. His choice. I think he could have found a 966 in a lot better repair and ended up spending a lot less money in the end. Good day.

He said that the junk man was going to give him $500 for both of them but he hadn't received the money for them yet. So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
