Restoring a "family tractor", to me, is a world of difference than another tractor you just purchase. If you have real strong feelings about that tractor and it's history in your family, then forget the dollars as you will never be sorry when it's all finished.
I have over $6000.00 in my Dad's H Farmall and I still get emotional every time I climb aboard and fire it up. The money is not what I remember; it's the feeling of being 14 years old again and plowing and planting and cultivating and cutting hay and baling and hauling ear corn in the fall. That tractor talks to me in ways that I can't describe. I'm 72 and wish my Dad was here and could see and hear it.
At shows, I meet a lot of guys who wish they had done what I did. They just stand there loaded with regret. They all talk about the family tractor that got away and they did nothing about it.
On the other hand, putting $6000.00 into an H that I would purchase and fix up....that's insane!
Now excuse me....I have to go out, fire her up and go for a short drive even though it's going to be 50 degrees today. We had a heat houser on it years ago and that was comfy. But I'll be warm, you can count on it. LA in WI
