J Gooch: What more can anyone say behind these guys. I just want to empathize Jim's last two sentences, make sure you gather up every minute piece that resembles cultivators, planters, side dresser or fast hitch. Don't overlook anything red or having traces of red or blue paint on it. I've always viewed the tractor (SA, 100, 130 or 140) as having a basic value of $1,500. to $2,500. without a hitch. In that basic value sheet metal must be intact and solid, castings must not have any breaks or welds. All else can be rebuilt to new specs. Implements and attachments are the real value you get. If I count the time and miles I put into acquiring attachments and implements, $30,000. would be a fair figure. I have close to 25 implements or attachments for 3 tractors, and I'm not through yet. That all started 45 years ago, however it has only been since 1990 that search for implements became intense. In 1990 I had 2 tractors, 2 plows and one set of cultivators. Over the years I have owned 6 of these offset tractors, some of them bought just to obtain an implement. Now you see what the addiction entales, can you handle it?
