[AT] New tractor to me

[Spencer Yost]

Some of you might remember the post(below) from Joe last August. In a later post he indicated it might be for sale.  Initially I wasn't interested because it was too far for me. I think a few other list members looked into it too.  Like me; distance and logistics was just too difficult.  Fast forward a few months and I needed to take a few business trips to an area very close to Joe. So to make a long story short that 430V is now following me home. Here's a picture of the tractor on my trailer with Joe giving a double thumbs up.

It was owned by a friend of his, a kind lady, whose father bought it new.  It's is complete, original, and straight but the engine is stuck.  But it ran as recently as a few years ago so hopefully this is solvable  without a complete rebuild. 

Stayed tuned!
