Allen I changed tractors

That ol' "Bama Boy" is liable to come up there, grab you by the scruff of the neck and teach you some down-home southern manners Dixie style.

You boys play nice down there. :>)

One thing is I've noticed a lot of posts about ultra rare tractors like SMVTA and SMDTA lately, and it makes me wonder if someone's bouncing around under different names yanking our chains trying to stir up trouble. Hope that's not the case.

You could have paid someone $5000 to fix the tractor and still put an additional $5000-$15,000 in your pocket after listing it on eBay. In other words, the high crop probably has a minumum value of $10,000 regardless of its condition. If you have no time or money, the restoration could have been done on shares with a guy who has time, money, and skills.

I hope I didn't wreck your day. Next time, ask the board BEFORE you trade.

Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

I'm probably end up dropping another $700 or so getting my loader over on the Hydro 70. But, I'll tell ya, it will bring me peace of mind.

Just sends chills up my back starting up that big diesel to do chores and then shutting it off again before the temp has even had time to climb high enough to open the thermostat.

My trouble is, sometimes I wonder if maybe I've got too darned much "necessity" for my own good. :>)

Check all your local salvage yards; somebody is bound to have that front cap.
