I know you`d be crushed if I don`t get it.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Actually I think it would be really cool if you did. Not many neighbors would have one and you could stuff in a blown nitro burning big block. Start a new sport roller pulling.

You'd flatten the competition.
People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.

I'm guessing the owner is of ill health, or worse. Those collections usually stay intact until the end (or you are forced to sell).

Nice pickings!

I visited this guy today to see if he had any baby Detroit's. Muddy would have loved it Scout trucks, Dodge trucks and a cubic shit ton of tractors.
He has 3 x 2-53s, trouble they're connected to John Deere drots.
4500 for a nice restored John Deere track loader with  2-53 powering it..

Walked away empty handed :bravo_2:.
Although I told him to call me when he wants to move one of those Detroit/Deeres.
