Diary
Old Green
I bought "Green (tractor) (nonfiction)|Old Green]]" via Craigslist. What a tractor! And I got it at a great price – the only problem was making the seller take my second half-payment, he kept wanting to tell me tractor stories …
Update: Literally. I must have stood there for eight, nine minutes, with $1500 cash in my hand, making “Yup, here’s the money, got this rental trailer, time’s a-tickin” sounds while the seller kept rhapsodizing … oh, he loved that tractor.
It worked out okay, the seller did eventually take my money, which he said is going towards a larger machine, a backhoe.
Still, Old Green is the cutest beast I ever did see, with lots of attachments (not shown here), so I can’t blame the guy for getting misty-eyed.
