Tractor Shopping

I'm looking to add to my tractor fleet

I'm looking for a good deal on a 100~125 Hp. tractor prefforbly with a cab , heat , and a/c
The cab is not a must if it's a good deal and a sound tractor.
I'll travel a good distance if it's worth it.

I prefer Intrenational or John Deere.

If anyone knows of a possibility shoot me a pm or respond here if thats ok with the mods.

I'm not trying to break any rules by selling anything so I think this request is allowed.

Thanks in advance

I'm trying to stay below 13~$14,000 but it all depends on the tractor.
I'm looking for a 986~1086 IH with a cab or 4230,4430.4240 JD
I prefer a cab but it's not a must if I find a good deal.

Thanks for lookin in advance

Eddie, a lot of folks come up here to the various sales and purchase 'em. There's an auction house not too far from where I live and can find out when the next sale is. Even with all the paperwork and stuff, you may still get a far better deal here.

Don't forget about the late 1850 olivers with the perkins 354 AND the 3 speed power shift. When you get the perkins to finally blow a 5.9B cummins will fit right in there with a little work. NOW THERES a tractor. 1855's and 1955's are both really nice handling tractors, don't be blinded by the wrong green

EDIT:
Oh yea, a field ready 1855 will weight approx. 13.5 K with loaded tires (18.4 x 34's). Ollies will give your truck a workout moving them.

I was there
It brought $7800 and was pretty rough.
It was also advertised as a power shift and it wasn't.

I did buy a couple of Hot Dogs though.
