Around here, the person who owned the tractor is not alive in many cases. There are alot of non-functioning small farms here, and you buy the tractor from someone tired of looking at it after dad or gramps left it in the barn in who knows when. They dont know why its there, how old it is, what it is...etc. one of my friends told me he was looking for a restoration project to do with his dad, and they put up flyers around looking for a spsific model. I think an Allis B (for some reason :- ) and had no luck. Then he put up flyers with pictures and within a couple weeks an old widow called about her husbands tractor. She sold it for $200 and they got the implements and an old garden tractor (all of which at a neighbors barn). They sold the old bush hog that diddnt work for whatever reason for $50 and the mower for $100 and the tractor is fully restored now.
This is another thing I'd post a picture of if I knew how....(this is the part where I hope for a basic answer)
