Back in 2001, I got a hold of the 42H that I drove as a kid in SD. It had a stuck motor and needed tires and one rear rim. I paid $400 for tractor with a new set of rear tires. (Unbelievable bargain right?) Now two years later I have over $3000 in it. (engine rebuild,new clutch and plate, new carb, new rim,tubes and tire mounting, paint etc) Still need a few little things lights, correct wiring, etc. Its a sound tractor everything works great. The hood and grill aren't too pretty but are painted nice. All I've used it for is pulling a trailer around the place. (have other tractors) Now my concern: I've seen H's in this shape and cosmeticly better sell routinely for less than 2K. Should I continue with plans to completely restore and add options like 3-point, wide front, live hyd., and make it my really slick tractor, or should I buy a really slick tractor and stop pumping money into this H. Will it ever be worth what I have in it now? With wfe and 3point will it ever be worth the 4-4.5K that i will have in it then? opinions?
