You have a lot to learn my friend...
Unless you're Allan in NE, you are not going to get a fair shake from a dealer. Dealers usually price the used tractors at 2-3 times what they're worth, and will not dicker/haggle/negotiate off that price by much. They're looking for the "big score," a fool with more money than brains.
I would write that tractor off at this point. It's gone, lost to the "dark side." Don't give the dealer another second of your time on it.

He came in and convinced her that the tractors were worthless junk and he was being tremendously generous with his offer.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
