: You can find them if you look around. At under $2k you're probably limited to 9Ns or Ferggie 20s if you want 3 point hitch. Lots of good non-3 point field tractors (Farmalls, WD's, etc.) can be had for under $2k; the trick is to find matching implements. I recently saw c. 1960 Oliver 500 and 550 (which are very modern tractors) advertised for $2500 to $2900. Look in the local bargan sale paper. Here we call it the Giant Nickle. You can usually find a nice Massie-Fergeson for about 2K. Just paid $2,800 for a '57 Case that had a front loader on it. Has been a bear to get back to useable, but got fired back up after engine work, and seems to be OK. Bought it from my brother though, and was able to go back on him and get money back to cover the parts. So yes, keep looking, and don't buy until you are satisfied you've found what you want. Parts for some of these are to darn expensive to pay good money for and then have to work on.
