heres my opinion,for what its worth.This is what ive found on collections or antiques over the years.For the most part they have no value at all except value to you until sale day.On that day it depends ENTIRELY on the buyer to set the value.If your asking if you could make a living really actually RESTORING old tractors,no i dont think so,the reason is simply because you have so much money and more importantly so much time invested in one,that you really could go to work for min wage at arbys and make a better living.That is of course not counting one of those folks who would buy a tractor at any price if it were rare enough.Now if you could buy one really cheap,well under fair market price,do enough work to get it running well without a large investment,then maybe. You could then sell it at fair market value and make a little.But then again,say you were buying,repairing and selling 8ns.who would you sell them to?Once you sold one to a person,that market is gone.And once you sell one to all the folks close to you wanting a n your pretty much dead in the water.On the other hand though ,i know a lot of guys making good money selling equipment,thats something different.It has a wider market base simply because more folks need it.And its sort of universal in nature.Especially the three point stuff,i wish i had started gathering up all that old three point equipment 20-30 years ago that you could have bought for a song and stacked it up somewhere.This modern food plot deal for deer has drove that stuff out of sight. Again my opinion,but ive been to several auctions lately where guys are there for the equipment only,and are taking it from here up north for resale.These small tractors are fairly easy to transport to and from a hunting lease so the markets there for the equipment that fits it.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
