You didn't mention if you knew the farmer. If you don't, find a mutual friend to introduce you.

I'd start out by saying to the farmer that you are looking to restore and work a tractor like his 730 and if he knew any for sale. Asking if he knew any tractors for sale gives him a chance to answer something other than "No". If his tractor has sentimenal value, knowing that you are going to restore it and use it instead of parting it out will be important to him. (If you have pictures of past restorations you have done, that would be a plus.) Your age will be a negative, so you really need to come off as sincere.

If the tractor has sentimental value and you do end up getting it, be sure to keep him in the loop as to how the restoration if going, especially once you get it running. This farmer could turn out to be a great resource for any future tractors you might be looking for.
