Hi all. I can pick up a WD with an A-C rear mounted digger and a A-C 3 bottom plow for $900. The tractor is bordering on becoming a parts donor, has some issues. I have no real use for this tractor, should I pass on it or buy it?

Whenever you save A-C equipment from the melting pots of China, you are a saint. Better buy it and save a part of agriculture heritage. Going orange is going great!

For 900 with some implements could you go wrong? I just paid $300 for a 3bottom snap coupler plow, I'm not sure what the diggers worth but I'm sure there's enough parts to make you more than your money back.

Ian said it right -- even if plow needs work still should bring $250, buy it and leave tractor sit for a while you will be amazed how they grow on a person!
