                    <div dir="auto" class="">Spencer, So sorry to read
                      about your health issues. Since i connected you
                      with that 430V tractor, the original owner would
                      be interested in knowing how much it sold for. I
                      marveled at the effort you took to free up the
                      engine and got it running again. Great job. As I'm
                      approaching 81 years old, I'm now realizing they
                      can't dig a hole deep enough to take my tractors
                      & my other toys with me when I pass on. I
                      never want a farm auction because it would being
                      able to see your funeral live. Sorry for the rant!</div>

                    Where do I start?  Not exactly sure but I know I
                    won't be able to tell <br class="">
                    this story properly if I start with the tractor so
                    hang in there<br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    I haven't been exactly talkative for a while and
                    have been holding quite <br class="">
                    a bit back.  Its been a wild ride for me over the
                    last 10-ish months.   <br class="">
                    I got meningitis last fall, got thrown in the
                    hospital in October, had a <br class="">
                    craniotomy(broken sinus bone allowed a pathways for
                    pathogens, hence the <br class="">
                    meningitis and craniotomy to repair the sinus),
                    recovered, all the while <br class="">
                    missing only 2-3 weeks of work (thank goodness for
                    work-from-home), <br class="">
                    continuing my work on my masters degree, and meeting
                    my farm obligations <br class="">
                    (also thank goodness all this happened in the late
                    fall and winter where <br class="">
                    chores and obligations are few and minor).<br
                      class="">
                    <br class="">
                    So I've been busy....<br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    By the time they figured out my health issues, I had
                    become quite ill.  <br class="">
                    Meningitis is serious shit and I became so ill I
                    also started getting <br class="">
                    secondary infections(pneumonia, etc).   Hearing I
                    was two shakes from <br class="">
                    death and then hearing they have to lift the lid to
                    fix it .<br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    All that and then requiring 6 months to feel
                    "normal" reordered my <br class="">
                    priorities.<br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    How does this relate to the 430V?   Glad you
                    asked.   One of my projects <br class="">
                    is a 1957 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup.   It is a very low
                    mileage, very nice <br class="">
                    original truck with minimal rust.  I took it apart
                    in the early oughts <br class="">
                    and stored every piece carefully on shelves in my
                    shop.  The cab is on <br class="">
                    blocks in front of my Pacer's parking place.   It
                    was always going to be <br class="">
                    a long and expensive project that also would require
                    lots of shop <br class="">
                    space;  but time, money and space have all been in
                    short supply for <br class="">
                    years.  So the project never got off the ground.   I
                    have decided to <br class="">
                    prioritize it.   One solution to opening up space
                    and money  is to sell <br class="">
                    a tractor.   Selling the John Deere 430V as opposed
                    to the Pacer opens <br class="">
                    up the most funds and space.<br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    So I spoke with Debbie Polk (Polk Auctions) and they
                    are going to <br class="">
                    include my tractor in the upcoming Labor day
                    auction.   I chose Polk <br class="">
                    because I have done tons of business with them over
                    the years - mainly <br class="">
                    on behalf of other folks but also myself personally.
                    This is probably my <br class="">
                    last chance to do business with them as a
                    consignor.   Also they have <br class="">
                    always been great to do business with.<br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    So there you have it.   A lot in a nutshell and
                    probably more than you <br class="">
                    wanted to know.  I felt like it was time to come
                    clean about all I have <br class="">
                    been through over the last many months and to also
                    announce my recent <br class="">
                    decision to sell the 430V.<br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    <br class="">
                    Have a great weekend!<br class="">
