That's a pretty sweet tractor! A couple years back I went to look at a 9600 that a guy told me he wanted $2750 for it. It was a project for sure, but I felt bad not buying it, I hope it went to a good home. It had bald, cracked 20.8-38's on the rear, the front tires had the ribs peeling off, it had a completely rusted out cab, but it ran like a watch. The rest of the sheet metal was perfect. It had some sort of hyd oil leak under the cab where you couldn't see it, but it was leaking really badly. I really wanted it, but didn't want a money pit. What turned me off to it, was the guy showing it to me jumped right up on it when I got there and fired it right up. It was cold, it hadn't been started before I got there, but when he was describing the oil leak to me, and I told him I didn't see much leaking currently, he told me that was because it all leaked out before he started it for the last guy a week or so ago. Now, he had only owned it for a few months, and hadn't used it at all after he decided it was too big for him. I knew it's history, because I knew the farm where it was bought new and had spent the entire other part of it's life. What really got me though, was that he said that it had ran out of hyd oil before the last person had looked at it, let alone the 5 minutes it ran when he started it after I got there, so I asked him how long he had it running for them too. He said about half an hour. Half an hour! With no hyd oil! While he had it started I had grabbed the steering wheel and it wouldn't steer, the 3 point wouldn't raise at all. That's when I started asking about the oil leak and found out that it had been run without oil for so long. He had started it before I had a chance to check any of the fluids in it. I wish it was in my shed right now, but with the hydraulics being run without oil, that made up my mind. It set there for about a month after that, then it was gone. Hope someone bought it and fixed it up. He told me he would not take less than the $2750 He had into it, and wouldn't take any offer less than that. I wonder if he got tired of it setting and ended up taking a loss on it. If it could have been had for $2000, I'd have been all over it.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
