There are some good old guys out there, but they're few and far between. Was at a show one time, and an old guy had an unstyled BR that was in working clothes, but ran OK. Young guy came up and was really looking it over. Old guy asks if he has any questions. Kid was trying to figure out the difference between a BR and a BO, and he and the old guy had quite a discussion that went on from there. You could tell the kid was earnest, and really interested. Kid said he was going to look for a BR, that was what he wanted. Old guy said, "Well, this one's for sale." It was probably worth $1,000 as is. Old guy smiles and says "A hundred bucks, and I'll haul it to your place for you." Kid was thrilled, ran off to go home and get the money. I commented to the guy that that was a really nice thing he did, and he said "You've got to get the youngsters started if this hobby has any future. I've got more tractors than I can keep up with, and more money than I can spend. And he seemed like a nice kid that would follow through on the project."
The BR brought back memories of when I needed another raking tractor, and a guy had a good running BR- He wanted $450, I offered $400, he was firm, and I walked away. Live and learn, I guess.
