I feel for the OP, and hope he doesn't get too discouraged. Old tractors need some younger blood so keep up the good work, and get what you can at the right price.
Here's my story of woe, but not tractor related. I collect and refurbish old airplanes. There was one advertised for sale for a 'reasonable' price about 240 miles away. I call and ask questions, make an appt to go look at it. A few days later I fly in to look at the plane. It's an unsafe barely held together mess. It is clearly un-airworthy, and dangerous. I tell the seller 'no thanks' without being upset, or getting into a argument. Before I leave, he lowers the price $2000.
I advised him I can't see doing business, and he keeps pestering me about why I won't buy this nice plane(paint was fairly good). He tells me how good the plane is, and how he's giving it away. The typical salesman pitch. Finally I get frustrated and go over to the plane and start pointing out all the problems, including unsafe prop, failing gear joints, flaps wrong, cracks in the flight controls, etc. Then - he gets upset! There's $20,000 worth of repairs on the plane, and I'm the bad guy? Sadly, it's still for sale, for about $10,000 under what I rejected, and it's still overpriced.

A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil�s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
