Called the owner. Told him id take it, and me and my boy would be there hopefully this Sat. Asked the width of it, and he said 3ft, so it can easly fit in the back of a pk. Asked if he knew anybody with any implements to sell, he said no.

After googling a picture of it, figured a pickup was all that's needed.

Looks like a fun little thing to have there.

Yup J. As I said, I can easily take it to the sale I go to, that is on around 5 or a bit less acres, and ride it around the aisles. I can easly take it to antique tractor shows and ride around on it, and be riding on something that is antique also.
Havnt had any luck with finding implements tho. might have to make them.

Just had the middle man call me wanting to know how I was going to pay the owner, which the owner wanted to know, but didn't have my ph#. He told me he had measured it and it was around 44in. We had figured 36. wide. Im trying to get hold of my boy top see if that makes a diff. Maybe the wheels can be turned around to close them in. He also said it was around 42in tall, and 6ft long. IF necessary, we can take off the steering wheel, and/or lower the tire pressure in the rear tires.

You might want to take a truck that can tow a (small!) trailer. Might be a good thing to have in case the tractor won't fit IN the truck. Then just rent a trailer in Salem, if you need to, with one way drop off.
