I know how you feel. Bought a Super MTA a couple years ago (didn't know it was rare back then) for $250 complete, stuck engine. Didn't think that would be a problem, put water in the radiator and it came out 2 of the spark plug holes, cracked head, sleeves, block, everything. Pulled the oil pan and found rusty rods and crankshaft. Spent $1000 to get another engine from Super M to put in it. Plus new clutch and other misc items. Got it all together, started it up and let the clutch out - TA was shot. Still haven't fixed that, but it's another expense.

HOWEVER; I enjoy the simple act of working on a tractor and making it run and look like new again. This is a hobby, hobbies are not always cheap and they are called hobbies because you don't make money on them. Enjoy the time you spend with your tractor, at least it doesn't yell at you like a girlfriend or wife.
