Saturday morning, my BIL and I went to look at a JD970 that was up for sale. BIL and his daughter had bought 40' containers for storage and needed a small tractor for use on her farmette. We looked at it, kinda rough, dinged up, with a 440 loader. It's got 3300 hours, but started easily in 30 degree temps, fluids looked good. Turned out to be a "95 year model, has a lot of wear in the right side kingpin, tie rod ends and steering cylinder ball joints. Has a new seat on it, new front wheels and tires, and rear tires were about 75-80%. Fellow was asking $4000, BIL got him down to $3250 after he told him all we had found on it. I drove it home at about 10MPH, wobbling all over the road!! Anything else we need to look for??!! BIL has a nephew who works for the regional JD Dealership chain, might be able to get parts cheaper that we can't get aftermarket.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
