I agree with Mikey D for the most part. But buy a tractor that'll best suit YOUR needs. If your goal is to have a restored running tractor(which I seem to remember is your goal from a different post) whether it's for tractor shows or for actual use, then, like Mikey said- buy the absolute best one you can afford and you'll most likely come out money ahead in the long run. If, on the other hand, your goal is to simply have a PROJECT- an old tractor that you can go out and work on whenever you get the urge, then go ahead and buy something cheap. Work on it, enjoy working on it, buy new parts as you can afford them, and keep your eyes and ears open both online and locally- since good deals WILL pop up that will save you big bucks on everything from engine parts to tires to whatever you might need. To me, on my "projects", being able to incorporate something I've scored on the cheap is much more satisfying than just writing a check and having something "new" to bolt on. However, if I'm working on something for "work" instead of pleasure, usually it works out best to just bite the bullet and buy new and be done with it. Either way, enjoy whatever you wind up doing!
