Yes, it costs a lot of money, particularly when I buy new parts from Case-IH, but I went into this with my eyes open. I am 65 and am fixing up tractors I saw/used when I was a kid -- no shows around here close enough for me to attend.

I avoid ebay and most private ads as for the most part they are overpriced (not talking about you NE Cowman), although I won't say I'll never use them, never is a long time. I haven't sold nor do I have any plans to sell anything yet, perhaps before I go into the nursing home. If the price scares you, you really should get another hobby, or perhaps not do as much -- take a vacation from it. That's what I intend to do if I get burned out.
