Now Gene, you are talking about me!
I know very little about wrenchin' on motors, and don't have the tools or talent for all the work restoring old iron. I always tell people that I got very good at writing checks when I decided to have my H all prettied up.
I found our old "family H" in terrible condition and ended up with spending obscene amounts of money on it (North of $5000). I love that tractor dearly, am retired and I am careful with my money, but I grin like crazy every time I fire it up because I'm that kid again of so long ago.
I own a good fishing boat and have lots of fun while in it. But that boat never makes me get the shivers and increased heart beat like that tractor does...every time I climb aboard. I always tell wifey that when I die she won't get but a fraction of what that tractor cost me as I could not have picked a more common tractor to spend dollars on.
When I take it to plow days that baby purrs so nice it's like it's telling me she's happy to be working again. I love her pretty red dress and her long legs.
So, if I told people that I would sell it for $5000, would I be asking too much? Not on your life. But if I wanted to just buy any old H I'd offer what the scrap price is worth since it has no emotional attachment to me.
Many hours + many dollars - Priceless memories!
Now, Gene, you keep an eye on a BN or Cockshutt 30 for me; a good one.
Out of here, I gotta go to the shed and stand there and look at that tractor and dream. LA in WI
