Hey Mike, One thing you will find as you foray into old tractors is that thick skin will get you a long way. A lot of guys like to be sarcastic and cynical, and that is fine...you will be at some point too. It's the voice of experience. Let people say what they will say, and glean what you want from what they say. I think if you go back and look at the original post, you'll find some good and heartfelt advice there, even if it is not what you wanted to hear. That said, if you have an interest in these tractors, and the means to follow the interest (that doesn't mean you have to have the means to follow it to the extent some folks do), go for it. You only live once, and why not experience the joy and angst of tractor ownership. Sure there will be days when you will question your logic in purchasing the tractor, but unlike things that don't earn their keep, a tractor can. The overwhelming majority of folks on this board are just plain good people...but they are human and sometimes say the wrong thing, make the wrong decision, etc. Just like the folks you deal with in person. So keep asking questions, and chase your dreams as you see fit...and take good with the bad as you move along. You'll be better for having experienced it in the long run. And believe it or not, for every "dumb question" you ask, there are a bunch of other guys reading through these forums who want to ask the same question but are too timid. There is no shame in asking questions, that's why these forums are here, really. Good luck in whatever you decide.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
