I can agree with the prices dropping. What Ive seen, at least in my area, and others areas as well, is simply the fact that it takes MONEY to restore a JD to either working condition or restore to show. An example, something simple like the gaskets for the lights on Farmall M, again for example. Brother bought 2 3 years ago, happen to see them on the shelf at the local JD dealer, these are the same lights Deere used, so they will work fine, but the price is nearly twice what I paid for me not 2 weeks earlier, including shipping from the Case/IH/whatevertheyarenow dealer. It was in a JD bag, so does that make it worth more? I think not. I can go on and on. Im sure theres examples that go the other way, Im not denying that, but what I was trying to say is that JD charges more, for the same part you can get elsewhere, because its painted green or in a JD bag. Guys out there with their high dollar parts on their overpriced Deere have also contributed to this with the "Mines better than yours attitudes" for what I have seen around here, and can afford to pay those prices, and run up the prices at auctions have contributed as well. As I said earlier, and Ill give an example - Guy up the road sold his JD 70, to a guy who had cash rolled up in his pocket. He ws smart, held out and probably got a good chunk for, thats fine. His neighbor was selling I think it was a Case, told one guy who looked at it that it was worth his asking price, since his neighbor just sold his 70 for near the same amount he was asking. Needless to say, the Case is still sitting there, and hes still asking way too much for it. Use to be able to buy M Farmalls a dime a dozen, now to get a good honest M, its going to be 1500 or more, and in some cases, scrap yard tractors. Im sorry if I offend anyone, I really dont mean to, but I see it all the time!
