Jon,

Glad to see that you approve of the brew! Not unlike an unsweetened chocolate soda mixed with a very good dark beer / stout.....desert & beer all wrapped into one! :lol:

Andre,

Try Whole Foods or a similarly styled specialy foods store thatr also sells about a 1000 brands of beer, :wink:

Heads up- Tractorheads!! While returning back from a military function up north we dropped in on an old country store to purchase some cold beverages who the owner happened to be a good friend of my wife's father. Out front sat this tractor. He's willing to sell it but the $2,500.00 price tag seems a bit much in my uninformed estimation. Any thoughts?

Not sure if the Mason Jar was factory installed equipment, but it's pretty classy in my book! :mrgreen: :wink:

If I had any interest in it, Jon, I'd offer him about 40% of what he's askin', and even at that, I'd say I'd be gettin' screwed outta about $250. :P

Jon, I'm with Mitch. Looks like it's been setting for awhile. Lots of grease/oil underneath. L rim, underneath, looks bad. Does the engine run? Or, how long has it been sitting? Do the hydraulics work? Brakes any good? Clutch hold? If the engine had been rebuilt, the block would be looking a whole lot cleaner. Looks like the hood and front grill have been replaced, and I wonder why. I just see a lot of potential problems. If you could get the serial number, it would help. Looks like my Super-A, but the seat arrangement is different. Gotta watch for crud in the gas tank too. Is the carb free of gunk? I'd want to open the tap on the radiator, and see what comes oozing out.

Let me know if you're serious. Sight unseen and untested, I'd be thinking more like $600 to $800 for the tractor if it runs solid, but I'd see Hev's $2500 and raise him $500 for the babe! :wink: :D
