I am in the process of restoring a 39 F20 for a friend of mine. The tractor belonged to his father and it has deep centimental value. It is a real dog and as a rule I do not have a problem with that as I like to go completely through a tractor when I do one. It has taken heat to get this old girl apart and I will grant you its in rough shape, but the price of these parts is absolutely staggering! I am no stranger to high prices as I have been through some John Deeres also. I love this old iron,but at what point do they price us out of this hobby? I have been reading the post about the auctions,you just can not pay that price for a common tractor that is stuck and justify rebuilding it, not when you can go through the classifieds in Red Power and see what nice tractors are bringing. My question is this who is jamming us on these old tractor prices? Is it the vultures who strip them out and try to triple their money on used parts or is it the big auctions that sell large quanities at a time. As you can probably tell I have had a rough time on the phone today trying to locate parts worth the money, and to top it off they delivered farm fuel today,and that is a whole different story, sorry I just had to vent.
