rjg854 12,219 #2 Posted July 10, 2016 The question should really be..... Is it worth it to you? You haven't given us enough to go on, and without pictures it's hard to put a price on anything. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 60,134 #4 Posted July 10, 2016 If all the parts you need are there and it is close by where you don't have to spend all day getting it then it is well worth it. Prices on are going out of sight and shipping will kill most deals. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prices on are going out of sight and shipping will kill most deals. Then, sell what you don't need (or want). He is only "asking", might bicker a bit for a lower price. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rustyedge1 176 #7 Posted July 10, 2016 If your that close and obviously need parts just ask the guy if you can buy what you want off the tractor, if not start doing the dance with a 100.00 bill, if that fails and he looks at you like your from Mars ( and he probably will ) bite the bullet and haul it home. Your question seems to me is how long have you been looking for parts, time is money. It wouldn't be worth anything to me BUT I don't need/want it. Good luck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd buy it, take what you need and part the rest. I bet you could get most of your money back on the trans, wheels, hood, engine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
