Hi guys...Allen, hope your wife is doing well. Prayers work great don't they?
Ok...here goes. I went to a sale Saturday morning. Didn't really go to buy a lot, they had a metal lathe I was intrested in...it went too high for me, but.
I stuck around to see what my friend got...and just could not pass 2 bids.
First is a IH 450D. I have one, but figured it would be good for parts. It has 4 new tires and rims on it. Runs well...typical seaps and leaks here and there. It may just be better than the one I have.
Second was a JD 50. The guy flooded it and it would not start. Again, I have one but like the Farmall...4 new tires, looks rough, runs sweet. We pulled it to start it and it really runs nice.
Now, I have to think...ok, do I add them to the list to clean and paint, or do I leave them in their work clothes? If I keep the 450D, it has to earn it's keep. I would put a bushog on it and mow pasture with it. I know they do not use a lot of fuel...even the TA seems ok. It has an after market 3 point that went with it...but not mounted.
The 50 I would like to keep to pull kids on our hayrides at church. I really did not have a lot of use for it.
I only paid $550 for the IH, and $475 for the 50. Heck, the tires and rims are worth more than that.
So...to paint or not to paint, that is the question......and no, I am not going to sell them...yet.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
