[AJD] Lots of green tractor for the money

[Dave Ernst]

Those were made in the mid 1970's.  Parts alone for the engine overhaul kit 
will be over $5,000. The transmissions in those were notoriously famous for 
failing, and overhaul costs for a tranny is 12 to 15k. So in my opinion even 
$1575 is risky. Also consider moving it....nowdays it runs us $.50 a mile 
just for fuel, and a heavy hauler is liable to cost $5.00 per mile or more..
Not a wise investment in my opinion.
