Posted by smalltownfarmer on February 20, 2006 at 15:53:03 from (64.33.183.107):
I am writing this post as I'm at a crossroads.Im 23 years old and have a small cow/calf operation that Ive been running since my dad passed away four years ago. Its a small farm with about 200 acres and 30 Cows. My dad was an Oliver tractor collector and had 10 tractors that he collected. 4 are work tractors and 3 are restored and 3 were partial resored tractors. Im getting to the point that im spending more time wrenching on them than doing field work or paying attention to my cattle. The question is would you part with a few of these tractors to get one good one? The problem I have is that 3 were my dads babies (and I wont get rid of these)But im afraid ill never be able to aquire tractors like these again. Id like to be a farmer first and a collector second, but id like to hear from you as to your advice. Id like to keep farming but im not sure what I should do. Thanks in Advance

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
