Wow Dave looks like a nice tractor. On the classified sites it seems people want $3,000 for a tractor that is all rusted up and barely running

I would say you should be able to find something newer and in good shape for less than 4grand. Some people think just because it's old it's worth more but some of them aren't even worth fixing.

Yeah I'm excited to get moved and I'll start lookin. I don't need anything massive, like was said before I want to have a few acre hobby farm so I'll need it for various chores and maybe for snow removal. Of course a part of me wants one just so I can tinker with it.

Always have people out there who think their junk is priceless...

Like I said, it's not for everyone. Motorsports is something I truly enjoy, and will watch/attend pretty much any type of competition. NASCAR just happens to be my favorite. Those guys are true mechanics and engineers that build and work on the cars, and the drivers are true drivers. There's no fancy electronics that allow for a margin of error or adjustment on the fly.

To each his own, Mark. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

Something to ponder about nameplates on tractors (and other equipment as well), they are owned by global corporations with many brands underneath sharing similar parts. The company that I work for sells Challenger tractors which share a lot of MF's parts.

Well, looks like I have my house sold.

My buyers accepted my seller's resolution, so I have a few contractors I need to invite over to get a few things done, and we're a go.

They wanted to move the closing up to November 10th. GOD would I LOOOOVE to do that...but I already promised work I'd be here that week to train the new kid. Stupid promises. lol.
