I am not sure but I think it came out of ga. Have heard mixed reviews one fellow said it ran well, another wasn't as impressed. I guess if I was interested I would make an offer and see where it goes but I would never give the first price without seeing it hook.

I highly doubt George would buy it if just won the farm show and had a full tank of fuel. LOL.

With the economy what it is, it's a buyer's market for some of even the best iron now, when someone decides to make a move in another direction. That notwithstanding, what ole George or anyone else involved in the sport choses to "play with" is their option, not based on public opinion. If everyone I've sold parts too, asked for assistance or refered others to from anything from parts to looking for an old farm tractor, were as helpful, I'd be tickled. He took the time one afternoon to join me on a trip to see my friend Nick Hicks, for a visit with he and his wife, as he knew the area, making my trip memorable. Gardner Stone told me once, at Bowling Green, he was embarrassed when an average fan, approached him about the money he had spend on this tractors. This was when "his tractors" were a pair of twin/triple allisons, prior to the quad t-55 unit, prior to his last hauler, which he advertised as costing 150K+ for the tractor, 750K+ and 18 months construction time for the trailer. I fear we lost Gardner due to boredom with the sport. My last conversation with him, some years ago, was about his triple t-55 boat, he built to try and set a speed record crossing the Atlantic. When asked of it's progress, he said, "The last time we took it out, it came back to dock on it's own power," and kind of laughed, but had a twinkle in his eye, while leaning against the ageing General. Other people's iron is their choice, watch 'em, pull against 'em, stay home, they don't care-----why this sport continues to have fans/participants that cheap shot one another, keeps us closer to being the Jerry Springer of sports, than a sport with a shot at legitimacy.

One mans junk anothers treasure. I don't worry too much about people with no names, I have had a lot of fun over the last 37 years I have been going to pulls and the last 26 hooking to the sled. Have I always had the best, nowheres close, but I have always enjoyed myself. Sometimes just being able to compete is worth the time. As for my junk, I don't remember asking you to pay for any of it.
