I fthats what you really want to do than go for it, its your life not all who have comented including me. Doing it for other people thou would be my suggestion along with what you have in mind. You will make more that way then you buying and selling in most cases. You could also branch out into just parts also. I do it in my shop and assemble new equipment for dealers,along with selling new used and antique equipment. Haying is major crop for me now and has been much better income than the tradition corn bean thing. I set my price not what the elevator does. You can do this also set your price. Remember thou dealing with the public can be an EDUCATION IN ITSELF. Word of mouth makes or breaks any small business. If you are good at it you will be fine if word gets out do cobble up work then it will be tough. Ask yourself these questions, am I good mechanically,can I paint and have a very nice job when done. I have sevral friends who do this and some can paint and some can't. Some are mechanics and some you would rather not have them do it. they both make go of it as they found out what they are good at in the area of the old tractors machinery etc. the one who was not good mechanic just parts thing out sells that way. one just paints now and he is good at it. Go for it is what I am saying,you will learn what I talking about in the public. VERY IMPORTANT PAY POLICY. CASH CREDIT CARD ONLY. If you do take check keep the tractor till it clears ONLY Good luck
