The Story Behind the Cheapest Tractor

one day last fall, my dad and I were out riding around, and we didn't have much to do because it was pouring rain outside, so we decided to go ask about a C/SC that we have been going past for years, so my dad went inside and asked ifn we could look at it, and the older man said yes, then dad went back in and asked ifn they would be interested in selling it, and the older man said no, and his wife said, Yes, there's no way he can use it at his age, so then i went it, and we looked it over, it has quite a few welds, but they looked functional, and the anti freeze was full, of clean looking fluid, so i thought that the block probably hadn't been cracked, and I knew it was a c, and a later one. so we went back inside and the old guy said well, and my dad said, well, would you take 500 dollars for it? and the old man said no, (we thought, uh oh, it's not worth a whole lot more than that...) he said that he didn't want to sell us a pig in a blanket, so he asked ifn we would pay 200 dollars, and we said yup, we'd be back two days later to pick it up, so he said ok, and that was that, another tractor comes home, and it was only a mile or two from our house too.
