Lonewolf,
Thanks for the well wishes! This sucks! I'm at home, my home 700 miles away right now with my Dads "Business phone" his cell phone to make some sort of sense with all this plus to run the minutes off his phone as that's one bill my Step-Mom wanted me to terminate, and what better way to do it I guess even tho its frustrating as hell.
Since my last posting that you've read, I have been on this thing non-stop,....Tiring to say the least, BUT, I've uncovered a guy who was interested in buying the Farmall "H".... As for him, the deal was, that Dad was to trade Dan the 68 Dart for the work to be done to the tractor. Steve (interested buyer,) was to pay my Dad, and then the whole cost on paper was to be split down the middle. I talked with Steve as if this may end up in court over Dans wants out of the deal. Steve is still interested in the tractor, none-the-less. SO, he's going to appear with my Step-Mom and me, (IF I can travel the day before)
Now granted is Grant (the guy to remove the tractor from the rented garage wants to get it to Dans, that's OK, Steve asked me to see if I could call Grant and see if he would haul it otherwise to Steve's if he buys it from Dan in person, or if in court. Even tho the deal itself is not done as it was to be......As my Dad was to simply restore this tractor to desirable condition to Steve.
DAMN, I swear it gets more and more complex as I read and call numbers found of people involved in this whole mess....
Christ, I got long hair, and by the time I'm done, I'll be bald!!!!!!
But the "gist" of all this is.....:
**The storage Garage has to go. cleaned out.....THIS tractor is closest to the doors!
**The deal needs cleared, and signed off on, to close the business
**Which once done the business can be closed and no more "taxes" of any sort can be ended.
**Car dealt with as needed, IF it needs sold, it will be auctioned off. Funds to pay ANY and ALL remaining shop debt.
**IF debts are cleared, and such the car will remain, I have no idea what will become of it then, I have to talk with the Step-Mom to know outside of what she and I already spoke about.
This one damned mess, is going to clean up a bit of **** left behind. Nice thing when Dad was alive that "pay-off" work in his shop would have been GREAT for him.....But, it didn't happen as it was planned too. Sadly, left a bit to be desired of and cleaned up......to bad tho. I am my fathers son.....I'da done the work myself, and got a bit from it to help my Step-Moms bills and such, but I'm to far away to do it....NOR do I got resources to get parts for that Farmall! BUT that's not to say if the car needs to go, it will get whatever it needs to be sold.....Then the funds of that will be added to the Death insurance policy to cover what it won't.
In that, I also found I'm glad my Dad started the business!!!!!!! IF he hadn't, the Death insurance he had, wouldn't have even covered the funeral bill! BUT he was smart enough and had plenty of business to cover it give them, $30,000 for it all and my Step-Mom also got $30,000 on her too! All through the "Little Red Barn Small Engine Repairs" shop my Dad started some 3 years ago!
