[Farmall] F20 questions

[Mike Sloane]

In my opinion, he is asking a lot more that it is worth. I see ads for 
F20 tractors in Lancaster Farming all the time, and the ones in MD/DE 
are the lowest prices of all and generally half of what he is looking to 
get, especially in the condition you describe. I would offer him $600, 
and maybe settle on the $800, but I think that you can find one 
elsewhere in that range if he won't meet you there.

For $1200, you could buy a very nice,clean, and complete M or H in your 
area.
