My other hobby is old hit and miss engines as well as early tractors! It was pretty common to dig a hole and push to old big clunkers in when the new modern ones came along, Some old tractore are VERY valuable.

RE: Old Buried Tractor - 6/20/2006 7:55:06 PM    capsoda Posts: 7866 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline It looks like a Chrysler from the mid to late 1950s. If you sell it shoot for 150 to 200 bucks. It's in great shape and things like that are hard to come by. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to wvhillbilly) Post #: 8
