Sort of. First the back story. The previous owner of the farm had a ford 861 powermaster that he spent alot of time fixing up. He took it to a local repair place because the tractors power steering was leaking from the vent. They repaired it and sent it home with him. apparently it leaked still, so he went up there to discuss it with them. Problem is he had a massive heart attack in their parking lot and dropped dead. So his wife decided to sell the farm a year later. Thats where we come in. We bought the place and she said that the tractor shop was supposed to come get it and fix it. They never did. fast forward 6 months, and the neighbor passes away. She go3s to that house to pay her respects and says to him, “i guess its theirs now”. So I got it running, put some new electrical in it, switch etc and fixed the power steering problem. It was an easy fix really. Im sort of torn what to do about it though. Tell her its fixed so she can sell it? Its not worth much really. 3k or so. She wont/cant use it and her family wont either. Im not exactly flush with cash right now, and it was left here 6 months. Should i just use it and if she says anything tell her to come get it? im back and forth on it, but in the meantime, heres a video

If it was not in the deal it's theirs. Haul it to her or buy it.

My grandpa had one about like that. I remember it had a pretty decent road gear, and he was hell on wheels. Close to 35 mph, maybe, wrapped up tight? Both been gone for 25+ years.
