[AT] What to do..

[Dean Van Peursem]

There is one thing that would make me uncomfortable. If you found out that she has committed to wait
until Saturday to the first caller to show up then what.....? I'm also confused by a model 60 Garden
Tractor.  To quote:

"When I opened it up, the seller's "garden tractor" is an all original John Deere 60 orchard
tractor, with a plow and disc for $1,500."

There was a JD model 60 Garden Tractor made from 1966 to 1969. However, I'm not aware of a
compatible plow and disk for this model Garden Tractor or even an "orchard model. Sometimes a blade
is called a snow "plow" and there was a model 40 blade for the model 60 Garden Tractor.

Now if this is a real 60 Orchard model then yes this is a real opportunity if all the sheet metal
doesn't need to be replaced.  If all the sheet metal needs to be replaced then find out what that
replacement sheet metal costs before getting too excited. I would call to make sure this is a real
JD 60 Orchard made from 1953(1954 model year) to 1956 of which the total production quantity was in
the 800's. I would ask what the serial number is and determine if the 1st two digits were 60 and
then ask what the rear tire size is? They should be 26" diameter tires. A rule of thumb I use is:
"If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is".

Confidence is the feeling you have before you completely understand the situation!

Take the money and buy it.  If the other person really wanted it bad,
they would have grabbed it now instead of waiting till Saturday. Cash
talks and bullcrap walks.

OK, here's the update.  I just spoke to the lady and as I suspected, 
she has been innundated with phone calls.  The first caller won't be 
there until Saturday, but she welcomed me to come over and look at it 
tomorrow anyway.  I'm going to take her up on that offer.  Would it be 
wrong for me to take a pocket full of hundreds along and buy it first?

Enjoy, Joe
