Ah the dilemma. The basic fact, as much as we don't want to accept it, is that any old tractor needing major repairs will cost more to resurrect than what we can buy a good running example. At that point their real value is in scrap, parts or entertainment. Like a previous poster said you can purchase it and spend another $3,000 to make a $2,000 tractor. So why would someone do a tractor like this? If you enjoy doing this kind of work their is a hundred or so hours of fun in a tractor like this. If you need a tractor like this AND your restoration candidate when finished meets all your needs and your rebuild/restoration is done right you may have 3-4 thousand dollars in a $2,000 tractor but it'll be better than a $2,000 dollar tractor because of the new tires and rebuilt motor AND it might be a better deal in the long run than a newer tractor IF you don't need all the features newer tractors have like live power,hydraulics, power steering, differential lock and remote hydraulics.
