I think a lot of it is what is important to you. Growing up we used 2 cylinder John Deere tractors almost exclusivly (2 B's and an A) I wouldn't trade my B for any compact built, they don't have the memories and honestly I just don't like them as much. Besides it doesn't have the footrests that the B has on the aftermarket seat (kinda like a farmall one) that made me fall in love with it 15+ years ago when I would ride around the driveway with my dad as a little kid. My dad asked me what my favorite tractor was when I was in 2nd grade, I told him the '46 B (the footrest thing and I always have just liked it) and he said it is yours. My dad payed $25 for 30 years ago with a bad mag, stuck a distributer on it and it is as relaible as a hammer doesn't show any signs of slowing down yet.
I know a newer machine would work my ol' B under the table (it is pretty mean at blading snow though), but I have no reason to be drawn to something different as my love and history is for the older stuff, of course everyone is different. If you got one and you are proud of it go ahead and bring it down the show, I don't care for the red stuff either and they keep on showing up every year too. :roll:
