Mechanics apart, that looks in better shape than some UK nettles tractors.

It doesn't look like it would be too hard to restore. It even runs. That's better than most of the tractors I've drug home!

I'd like to have the hood and front crowl off of it.
I wish MO was a little closer to North Carolina

I wonder what went through the wall of the shed. Maybe it was the left rear tyre

That one looks really straight, Kev. He can't deceide if it needs a clutch or a starter. No, the clutch is rebuilt. Wait, maybe its the starter. I don't think I'd bid on that one unless I could see it in person.
