The guys are correct, it's really hard to make anything fixing up a tractor for sale. The parts are just too costly, and you sure can't get paid for your time. All the guys I ride with all say they should have bought one restored, but we still turn around and buy one to fix up. I guess we just like the satisfaction of doing one the way we want it to be, either that or we're just slow learners. LOL I can't imagine doing 43 of them that way. Maybe better to restore for hire and let the customer know that it's going to be pricey if he wants a really nice job. I know guys around here that have paid $3000 to $5000 for a paint job!!!
