I'm 15. My dad bought my brother and I each a tractor about 2 years ago. Mine is a 400 diesel and his is a ford 9n. Both were in poor condition and not running. This spring we finnaly brought them home and have them pretty much stripped down. The 400 was missing the head, hydraulic pump most of the emblems pistons and some other parts. Anyway we got a head for $400 which is a steal for a start on gas diesel head. That with some other parts and a manual has added up to just over $500 dollars. I finally got enough money to pay him back, then yesterday, my dad called an IH restorer about getting it running. We will take the the tractor to him sometime in August. It will be at least $900 more to get it running. But the day when I can finally see smoke (hopefully I won't actually see any once its running) coming out of the exhaust will be one of the greatest days of my life. Count your blessings: 1. It runs 2. It probably looks better than mine (the 400 is a nice combination of grease and rust) 3. You can use it (all I can do is sit on mine)
In the end I guess you should decide what is right for you. If you do sell it try local newspapers and don't lower the price. Just some encouragement.
