Okay, Here's how it looks

After figuring in my original purchase price, the cost of freight to get it here, and all repair costs to date, my latest fix means that I have just crossed the "what it's really worth" value of this old tractor.

Does this mean that I'm doing things about right in regards to dealing with old iron? )grin(

I was decussing this very issue with one of my neighbors the other day and he was wanting to know whatever possesed me to buy this old thing.

I explained to him that I really miss the farm and that I bought it just because I wanted the darned thing.

He told me, "Well, I guess I know what ya mean, a guy really can't even built a good pot of coffee without havin' an old tractor out in the yard". :>)

What I want to know is: How can you stand to part with one of 'em? Does this trait come later on down the line?

Have a good one,

Allan

LOL!!!!! !!! You guys just make my day!!

My wife tells me that I have "tractors on the brain".

But, I can just stand and look at one of these old units that has been all fixed up and all those good memories just "flood" back over me.

I live 10 miles outside of town and when I roaded the tractor home the other day, that screamin' diesel yanked me right back to when I was in my thirties. Happiest 30 minutes I've had in a long, long time.

An old piece of iron is all it takes to make me happy. Maybe I need therapy! :>)

Allan

That is exactly what I had planned to do and now you've gone and spilled the beans!

I figure after I get the thing in the field, a nickel here and a nickel there wouldn't be noticed too much by the War Dept. here in this house..... .. :>)

I wish I had you all for my neighbors,

Allan

I think you have to have about 3 times what they are worth to fix em right. And yes,if you move off the farm take a tractor with you and all the goodies that go with it. Sure wish I had.
