I don't know what you found, but I want you to be happy, so let me offer you this advice: As soon as you learn enough to somewhat evaluate the condition of a tractor, buy the very best one you can afford. It will be the cheapest for you in the long run. I have messed with old cars, boats, outboard motors, old colt six-shooters and old tractors - you name it - and the lesson has always been the same: The better specimen you start out with, the happier you will be and the least amount of money you will spend in the end. If it takes you 3 years to get it going, you're liable to lose interest and never get to enjoy owning a running tractor. I don't know your budget; you may have to buy a junker. If so, so be it. If not, go for the nicest one you can afford - unless you are a professional mechanic and tractor restorer. Others may disagree. But, that has been my experience. mike
