Hey Raleigh.

I have been following your posts the last few days, and this forum is full of great people always willing to help answer questions.

But I dont think that anyone here is going to be able to remove these concerns that you keep having regarding this tractor or that tractor. You know there are risks, there are gambles, and there will probably be some heartache, but thats the deal with old iron.

The most important part of this entire transaction is that YOU are the one who has to shell out the money, and then has to deal with the fixing/maintaining/enjoyhing your machine. If you want to pay 7000 instead of 9000 or whatever your price ends up being, then go for it. We certainly dont need to validate your tractor purchase :) Someone will say you overpaid, and someone else will say that you got a great deal. Thats just the nature of the beast.

So dont settle on a tractor, just find one that you think is a good deal, or one that you are willing to work with. There is always going to be a better deal somewhere else, and there is always going to be a junk heap with new paint on it too.

Everyone here will do their best to help you solve any problems you come up with once you get your "new" iron, but I dont think anyone is going to be able to make anything you look at "worth it". You are the only one who can do that. Go decide what you want/need in a machine, and then just scour for it. If you need it right away, you know where there is one. If you can look, then you can keep looking. (Here is a good place to start. http://www.machinefinder.com/ )

But please dont ask anyone else to make up your mind for you. Usually a man's decision is made by his wife anyway, so its not our business :)

Good luck in your tractor search, just dont get hung up on "what might have been", but instead enjoy what you do have in front of you.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
