My point for the original past was that people are starting to treat antique tractors like muscle cars: put a lot in "em, add up your time the tack on some profit and advertise them for stupid money. I was pointing out by using a Super H as an example that unless you have some real rare bird of a tractor, each model kinda has an upper limit what ya could expect it to sell for...my experience is that a well tended nice Super H is gonna be worth closer to $3500 than it is $7250 no matter what"s been done to it! I could have grabbed a pic of one of those New Hampshire tractors that get put on here periodically (the $7000 JD 70 for instance) and compared that to ours, or one of the "Expo Quality" late As or Bs that guys are asking $5000 plus for and compared them to one of ours, or that $5500 Super C that was on here a lil bit ago.

I thought I kida stated that when I made the comment about collecting and restoring being a hobby.
Been aware of the car thing for a long time and about the prices of restored tractors about 10 years. Met a kid in 96 or 97, salesman at a Ford NH dealership who had a mid 80's Camaro. He had receipts to prove he had about 10K tied up in the car not counting buying the car. He could not understand why he couldn't get that 10K out of a car that booked at about 4500 bucks at the time. And as far as prices on certain tractors, in poor condition amazes me. Here old beat to pizz crawlers.....well the sellers must think there is gold under all that bad paint, rust and dirt.
