It is a rough way to try and make any money as i did it for 19 years and ou realy have know the market and what to buy and when not to buy and what you can afford to fix and what not to fix . I always bought I H tractors that needed clutches and T/A's but had a good sound engine and rearend as for the transmission ya never knew till ya got in there . Fixen lights a new seat doing a tune up adjusting valves fixing leaks checking the hdy system and fixing it a real good paint job and testing the tractor to make sure that it is feild ready and standing behind your work for a short pieord and giving a warranty on the clutch and T/A . I always used premium parts and made a decent profit over cost a lot of the equipment went to friend and is still in use . now i have end up with some real junkers that were not worthe fixen and end up taking a thumpen but that is part of the learning experince . Some days penuts somedays shells.
