We prefer email at Rusty Acres Ranch and Vintagetractors.com. This is so we can have a record of price quotes and orders in order to serve you more efficiently. We answer all emails as promptly.as possible. It will help if you email your want list so we can check on availablility and condition. Also include your zip code so we can calculate shipping charges. Payment may be made by personal check, money order, or Paypal (you can use your credit card to make Paypal payments). We are not set up to accept credit cards directly. Further ordering information will be given along with the price quote.
Many of you feel that you have to talk to someone on the phone to "feel good" about your order. I'm sorry, but I am not in to answer the phone very often and if you ask about certain parts, it will usually require a return call after I check availability and shipping cost. Phone calls will usually reach my voice mail and I admit that I am terrible at returning phone calls. I prefer not to give out my phone number. (Hint: Use the email response above!!!)
I can ship most items, but if you prefer to pick up larger items or possibly have them delivered to a show that I will be attending, that may be arranged. I also have some trucking contacts and can often arrange delivery of complete tractors or larger items to either the Midwest or West Coast locations. I rarely ship truck freight, so have no contacts to obtain price quotes. If you want items shipped via truck freight, I would suggest that you select a company that is local to you that you are familiar with and get a price quote from them.
Some of you have aked why we don't have a storefront type of website with direct ordering. Two reasons: I maintain this website myself and that is beyond what I can do at this time. Second, and most important, many of the used parts that I sell are in limited quantitites, usually just one of each item shown. By having you email first , I can check my stock and give you a definite answer on availability and condition, then I can put it aside for you until your payment arrives.
