NICE TRACTOR !! I remember my father & I fixing up old cars to re-sell in the 60's & 70's, some required much more work than others, but I can only imagine what those same cars would bring today, by some of the "ridiculous" auctions on TV today we would have both owned our own state by now, back then, we were just trying to stay busy & make a few dollars on the side. I find these old tractors well worth the money and definitely worth restoring, who knows what the future will bring. I have noticed some parts and certain models getting much more scarce in the past few years, and prices definitely on the rise compared to say 10 years ago.

I still find the prices for restored tractors, and their parts amazingly low compared to cars & trucks made in the same era. My hat is off to anyone involved in collecting or restoring these classics.
