Good afternoon everyone. I recently have been getting some interests sparked in opening my own tractor rebuilding and restoration business. Wondering if anyone thinks it would be a profitable business in MN. I am only 22, and have been doing it on my own tractors for about 10 years (3 done so far). I would love to open my own business doing everything from minor jobs to major overhauls and include painting (base/clear or single stage options). I know some things to overcome would be finding a customer base. Having reasonable prices that people would be willing to pay. I know a lot of people in our hobby do the restoring themselves because they find it rewarding/stress reliever/like it, and so forth. So the customer base is only a fraction of the people that actually restore tractors. Wondering what everyones thoughts are, as I would love to do something that I have always loved to do, and actually make a living doing it!
