Many people think and believe there is a fortune in these old tractors. Personally from my thoughts as a person who collects old tractors and is awfully slow in the restoration. My belief is you are lucky to get your money back.The fun part is collecting and in a great many situations bring them back to a new life. All these old tractors have completed many hours of hard work, it's nice to put them back on the fields to work the land in a leisure time frame. There is the odd time when some one is looking for a particular tractor that will spend extra cash to get the machine they want those situations are few. Cost of gas is another deterent. Couple of weks ago was talking to a mechanic that had a tractor siting outside his garage, when asked who the owner was, i was told he would sell the tractor for $250.00 , I immediately purchased the 1943 Case Industrial. when I went back on Monday to pick up the tractor the mechanic told me he sold too quickly , as he had listed the tractor on the Kijiji board for $500.00 and had 16 inquiries about the tractor. I suppose I could get most of the money back for a junk price, although won't go that route. Cheers, Murray
