well   starters----   my neighbor has  a  1950  that they are goign to sell--  its W E E K. and lost its  seat and  needs  some shoes... any kinda shoe .

to say its been rode and put away wet would be kind--- it aint run in 5yrs.
I use to   HATE  this  tractor as it always beat my dad at the tractor pull-- every year but 1969  when the  4020 caught a break...   

I am torn about  buying it..   ( fiscally its  not im my cards--- becasue of my  1955's   clutch smelling and the  New vicon mower I had to buy when the old one  finally bit the big one after 18yrs)  
 The  -- sale administrator says it looks bad--- he KNOWS  if fixed up  it would bring 8,000-10,000   ( that I dont know)   but its not... he was talking asking 3500 to 4,000  .... 

now that leads me to the other question---  the  smell Im getting when running the  mower with the 1955---  no oil shooting out of  the  PTO box..
and its not hot   but I smell clutch---  main clutch  seams soft.. but cant tell if thats where the smell is from...  any clue????
