Well guys I just went out and bought a "good" local one owner JD 4450 2wd. I have talked to a bone yard I deal with all of the time. They will give me $8500 for what he has.( Less the good tires. I am going to keep them) The cab and sheet metal will let the yard come out on it. I don't want this thing sold to another person in one piece.
It looks like I can sell him the JD 4450 trading in his JD 4440 for under 20K more. This is about 5-6K cheaper than I think the repairs are going to be. He will have a model newer tractor that I have known since new. I tried to get him on this tractor months ago but he did not want to spend that much money. He is going to be spending it now, one way or the other. I am showing him exactly what all the numbers are going to be. I am only gaining the tires for about half the value.
I just had his wife come over. (She was sick with worrying about this). I set her down and showed her what I could do to help. I showed her all the numbers. Even a faxed offer for their JD 4440. I also showed her that the JD 4450 would be worth more down the road. They will only be a little above high value on the JD 4450 but that is better to me than double the value on the JD 4440. This way they will have something that should be trouble free for a long time. She is going to meet her husband for lunch. They both are real nice people. I just want them to get this behind them without a lot of worry. I think that this will do that job.
As for naming the seller. Well I did not talk to the fellow myself. So I don't know for sure what he told my guy. He very well could have told him that it needed work. I have seen guys get new paint fever and do stupid things. Most of you guys are smart enough to walk away from a basket case like this one.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
