Here is the scoop. It all boils down to two machines. One is 1500 miles away, its a 1968 JD 4020 that cost the cost is 5800.00 the cosmetics are not great by a long shot, the sales man just simply says it runs and shifts out good. This about all he said. I have about 8 pictures of it. It has diff locking and two remotes. It looks by the hour meter that it has a fresh overhaul or a fresh inframe on it. The tractor is at a dealer. The cost to go up there is about $350.00 and to ship this machine is $1300.00 which comes to a grand total of $7450.00...
Like I said the cosmetics aren't great, it has 2 remotes, it has 830 hours on some sort of inframe or overhaul, and the guy says it sifts out and runs good.
The second machine is Much Much closer than the first it is here in state and an easy drive to go see. It is prety straight and clean by the photos could use a paint job. It is a late model 1971 JD 4020 only one remote has diff locking. I can go down and have it pulled on a dyno I can drive it, I can do what I need to do to check it out. The price is $8,000.00 and to ship it it is less than $300.00. So a potential $8300.00 total investment.
I have to say it is a long shot that I will go up to North Dakota, even if the cost is only $350.00 to see this tractor. I will really have to buy it with out trying it out.
So it boils down to a 1968 tractor for 7100.00 cause I want be trying it out, or $8300.00 for a tractor I can spen Quality time with before I make my purchase.
Question which way or how would any of you give advice on this?
What are yalls opinions?
Any comments are greatly welcomed..
