Barn find 1960 Model 400 I think....

[Hammerhead 817]

I found this oldie in a barn a couple years ago. The owner wouldn't take $175.00 for it so it has sat there for a couple more years. I drove by his farm house Saturday and they were having a barn sale so I had to turn in and try to buy it again! Turns out the old timer past away a few months ago and the family is trying to sell some of his stuff. I asked about the tractor and they said to make an offer on it. I said I'd like to get it for about $150.00 since it is in rough shape. They had to call the Mrs. and she said rather quickly NO to my offer and the guy hung up the phone. I said well I may go higher on it and he gave me her number and said to call her tomorrow. I called her back and she was asleep someone said. So I left my number and said I was interested in making another offer on the tractor in the barn. She never called me back! So I'll have to stop by again and try to get it for $200 maybe! Dang it! So close but so far away! The tractor has some good stuff left on it but all 4 tires are shot and one front rim looks to be shot too. Only half of the important choke and throttle assembly is there and it has the wrong motor on it, a H60. So it may not be worth $200 yet but after I change some stuff around on it, will it be a better deal. Hope she don't want more than $200 for it, dang! KJ
