I would like to hear from some of you how much you spend on your old collector tractors. I got my Oliver 88 diesel earlier this year and am finding out I have quite a list of things I'd like to do to it, but am limited on funds to do them. I'm not doing a total restoration, but just cleaning her up, shining her up, polishing her up, trying to stop leaks, changing all fluids, and replacing some required parts.
Between the required parts, and many desired parts, oils, filters, fluids, grease, solvents, pads, rags, towels, touchup paints, sandpapers, compounds and polishes, tools and equipment, and manuals, I believe I could spend several hundred dollars a month, maybe more! Easily four or five grand this first year, if I wanted to do that much refreshing the old '88.
How do you guys with 5, 10, 30, or even 100 tractors do it???

I know that for some of you this is a business expense as you have working farms and use the old tractors for some or maybe all of your work, but it astounds me to think of how much love, energy, time, and treasure it takes to keep these things going.
