[AJD] Experimental Tractor?

[Troy Bogdan]

The reserve hasn't been met yet (Don't know what that might be) and the high 
bid right now is $8600.  I don't think it will go that high.  My little 
wager will be that it stays under $40,000 if it meets the reserve (whatever 
that might be).  Troy

 You are bidding on what many say is the second rarest and least known JD 
tractor,  this is the prototype 840 that JD used as the design platform, 
many of the XR parts were later used on the electric start 830s,  this 
tractor has both factory tags, (RX869) (840026) and 19 XR 
parts,(experimental research).   It has been completly restored to the 
original condtion, it is in many photos in the original owners manuals, 
archive images and text,  along with being an experimental tractor it is 
also beleived to be the last two cylinder to ship out of the Waterloo 
Tractor Works,  June of 1963,  included in the sale is a complete photo 
diary of the restoration, archive information and a complete list of all the 
XR parts on the tractor, some not visiable due to location.  Buy with 
confidence, this is a nice tractor.   I dont accept pay pal,  bank check 
prefered.   Sold in as in condition,  will store inside until shipping is 
arranged,   if you have any questions please ask.   location of tractor is 
55371
