I am losing my storage and it is too expensive to continue storing my tractors. I am downsizing and would be interested in your input on which one to keep. Oliver 1950 GM engine with terra tires and MFD.----- - Oliver with GM 2 Wheel drive restored and parade ready.--- Massey 97 restored and parade ready. Moline G 1000 wheatland original with cab.I will only be able to keep one which should it be?

They all sound pretty desireable to me. I would keep my favorite/one I use and enjoy most. If theres no clear favorite Put a price on all and sell 3 and keep the last one. I dont know your situation but I would really try to keep them all if you can afford it,even if you have to put your own building up.The MF 97 is also rare(isnt that really a red MM) and a nice original MM is getting harder to find too!!!

Heck I would let you store them for free if I get to play with one once in a while.

Well, I have always been a bit off center. Part of my self proclaimed therapy is working on my tractors. I worry about finding parts rather than the weather, I busy myself turning a wrench rather than wringing my hands over some situation at work etc. I loose interest in a tractor once I get it beautiful because it isn't the stress reliever it was when I was working on it. Then there is the satisfaction of seeing it completed. That satisfaction only comes once a restoration. So I'd keep the crappiest one you got or sell em all to find one you can throw yourself into. But, that is me.

I agree. I like old tractors, but i like to use them and work on them, not so much look at them. So, I would keep the beater, and find a plow for it. Entertainment for a long time.

I would think that the Oliver with the MFD would be the hardest to replace, so you should keep that one and bring the rest to me. (:
