Owning a tractor is a loser. Some are bigger losers than others. I have a dozen of them and none of them has directly made me money, even the big dogs that have done my field work. The last tractor I bought, a little SC case has been about the cheapest among the old tractors I have bought. I have $700 in it including purchase price and sprucing it up so it is dependable. Among the other purchased ones I have $4000 in an Oliver 88 that needed an engine overhaul with welded head. I also painted it and used clear coat, something I don't plan on doing again anytime soon. A rusty old F20 sitting in my shed sucked $2500 out of my back pocket but it sure does run nice! I have $1700 including purchase price in another SC Case that had a cracked head. And on and on it goes.
All of that money I spent on rusty iron would have made me more money in a CD making less than one percent interest but there is no fun in that is there?

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
