No doubt I would be considered one of those guilty of charging high prices. I understand the frustration. I am 30 years old and have an attachment to these tractors as we used to raise tobacco for many years. I realize that you can still buy a Super C with fast hitch for $700 in this area, but by the time you buy tires, rims, etc...I have so much in it that I can't/won't sell it for less than the investment. If you check out the tractor photo section, you will see that the way I have dealt with this is that I buy an old tractor...give it what it needs and then TRADE it...I know that makes no sense, but that way I don't feel bad about someone paying and couple of thousand for a 50 year old tractor. I get me a new toy and they get a good running tractor. I get a chance to tear into new models..I learn a little more, then I move on. To me that is better than any tractor show (of which I attend). Next week I will get #14. Fourteen tractors in one year. I am not rich...not by any means, but I get a chance to experience old Farmalls without the "expense". To me it is about finding decent, honest people to trade with. Everyone understands these tractors for what they are. With any luck, someday I will be the ninety year old (mentioned on up in this discussion) crying over these marvels of yesteryear.
