Thanks for the input. I see that everyone says that you won't make any money and hardly ever come close to breaking even. The main reason for this project would be for a learning experience so that I can save my dad money in the shop by not having to send a tractor out too much. My dad isn't really fond of the idea, he thinks that I should worry about other stuff besides tractors bc we most likely will not own a farm when I get out of school. I don't know what else I need to worry about right now, Im at boardind school and making straight "A"s, and I still spend plenty of times in the forums. Without this forum I don't know how I would get by being away from the farm so long. Since we are no longer growing tobacco, maybe I can restore a farmall M or H and he can sell one of the 140s. They are great tractors but the offset is a pain with the PTO and traction. I am still taking input, and would love to hear your opinions, good or bad, let me know what you think. The only reason I don't really want to do a 140 is bc its not "my", so I wouldn't get the pride out of driving it. I want to be able to sit down on "my" own tractor and work some. Thanks for your help and all of this is helpful so far. By the way, the M that I am looking at is not running, but the block is still good, and also, I want a tractor that needs to be overhauled, how else will I get to tear down the engine ? :)
