Yesterday a friend and I took a run down non running 460 Farmall that he bought at an auction Saturday to the Old mans shop north of Eddyville Ky. When we got there the Old man came out and looked at it and asked us what were we wanting to do with it. My friend told him he bought it for $670.00 and would like to see if it would be worth saving or was it better off in the scrap yard. The Old man had us unload it and said he would try to get to it later. This morning we stopped by just to talk , and saw it running outside the shop. It had a slight miss and smokes bad. My friend ask the Old man the question Well what do you think? The Old man said it could be saved but it needed an overhaul. My friend ask what all he found. The old man started his list No water radiator and it was full of mice nest, pulled the hood and valve cover found 2 bent push rods, carb was full mud wasp battery cables were bad, starter was full of rust had to clean put used battery in, throttle was froze mice had ate and nested in the dash caused the key switch not to work and the list went on. My friend said I guess I all ready spent to much? The Old man looked at him and said Son its like this if a $ 121.00 is to much to get it going and find out the TA works good and hydraulics work no cracked block, the clutch holds, then maybe you should have not bought it. My friend asked the Old man is that all I owe you? The answer was yes. My friend said fix it!
