Paul: Sounds like you're looking for affirmation of a decision you've already made....one that I believe is the right one. Get the tractor and restore it--not as a "collector's item" but as a labor of love. Without knowing your wife, I can't speculate on her reaction, but I know from observation that most women, particularly those from country backgrounds, have attitudes ranging from tolerance to raving enthusiasm when it comes to old machinery. One of my best friends would love to use his 8N with a loader more, but can't unless he kicks his wife off from it! The 640 is a nice, solid little tractor, and is worth the attention you will be paying to it. Manuals, parts, and expertise will be reasonably easy (though not necessarily cheap) to locate, and the sense of accomplishment, particularly shared accomplishment, arising from these projects can set the stage for a better relationship with all the people concerned.
