Sarge,

I always look at these things this way.

With a dead hole, for all intents and purposes, the tractor is totally useless to you for any work at all; it is nothing more than a neat pile of iron.

Plus, if you are going to sell it and are honest about it, it "might" bring maybe $350 or $400. Nobody else wants that 3-lung problem either.

You can forget the $2K.

So, stew on it for a day or two and forget the past; face it, yesterday is gone. Then when you are ready to decide, do you want to buy the tractor again for another $1750?

I would. You'll see a heck of a lot more money in your lifetime, but there are only so many 51 Hs out there and you will know what you have. Hang on to her for another 20 years and you'll see all your money back.

'Course, I'm a fanatic when it comes to red tractors too; I wanna save 'em all.

It's a tough call, Sarge
