Hang inthere. Money is not the answer. Yes you can sell the tractor. You may even save money for the next 5 years and buy something in better condition. But it will not mean as much to you as the one you sold. I started on my 43'H when I was 14. I cut fire wood for my grandfather who heated with wood for 2 yrs to get that tractor. It was more rust than paint and ran on 2 cylinders most of the time. I got a job at Mcdonalds for $2.85 an hour and baled hay all summer for 2 more years to be able to overhaul and have the old girl painted. When I was 16 I gave it back to my grand father fully redone for his 66th b-day. I had never seen a tear in my grandfathers eye till that day. The point is that nothing in life is easy and the harder you work towards a goal the more it is worth in the end. Maybe not money wise but in experiance and self worth. If you stick with it and see it through to the end you will never forget the lessons and the work ethic it took to accomplish your goal. I now have my 43'H back but miss the guiding hand that gave me a chance to prove myself. Stick it out and in a couple of years you can be proud of your acomplishment. Good luck and hang in there.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
