So what hobby does your boss think you need to be spending time & money on??? :)
You didn't get hurt at that price. It partly depends on why you bought it - they are not that easy to drive (hard to shift, not a super tight turning radius) - but I think they are pretty collectable.
They didn't make too many of them. One of the JD magazines (either Green or Two Cylinder) had a big write-up a while back on that model along the lines of "last model of the D lineage"... In other words, it's the "grandson" of the long, time-honored line of JD's.
To me, it is THE classic western, wide-open spaces, hard core, old-style wheatland pulling tractor... It is one powerful old mule - just about the last before the Soundgard cab came on the scene and "pansy-ized" everything... ha.
Although, if I'd known as a kid working slave labor for my Dad what I was missing with all the neighbors in Soundgard cabs - I would have probably revolted at the time. ha...
There were a lot of hot, hot, hot old summer afternoons I spent driving that old beast with my feet up on the window ledge because the floor would get too hot even through work boots...
If you pull into a tractor show with it - all the little JD A's and IH M's & H's will all be scurrying for cover!! ha...
I'd keep it in the shed, if you spend much money on the A/C. We could never keep the A/C up - even on the 6030 Dad bought brand-new. The fan motors point straight up on top of the cab, for one thing, and moisture will ruin the motors very quickly.
They look pretty fearsome all "prettied up". I hope you got the engine covers with yours - those are very hard to find.
I wouldn't take $9000 for mine and hope Dad never sells his.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
