I am aware of everything you said...do all but the machine (engine) work on most of the tractors we have restored, have way too much money in most of them, (turned down $7500 for our JD70 at a pull once)BUT... ...and if you are as experienced as it sounds, you realize that the value of any given tractor (especially the ones that are so common you trip on them everyday) hits a ceiling eventually, no matter how nice you make it or how much you put in it!

The difference between you, me and the seller of that C is we know we put too much in our tractors, and we aren"t insulting anyone"s intelligence by trying to sell them for what we have in them plus...unless that is your C, then GOOD LUCK!
