This is a bit off topic but here goes. I'm gonna lean on you guys for some advice. First, this getting old stuff just ain't got it. Gonna be 66 in a couple months. Not that old but, I'm pretty much worn out. Knees, hips, back and, shoulders are kerput. Constant pain and getting worse. Heart problems and doc sez, don't expect to live a long life. The meds I'm on make me feel like I never go to bed. I have 11 tractors. All but two have new paint. Seven have new engines. By this I mean complete major overhauls. The rest have had the engines torn apart and anything needed replaced. The tractors are 59 Oliver 880 with traction hitch and 5440 plow, 47 Oliver 80 on rubber, 43 Oliver 80 tip toes on back with adjustable narrow front rubber, 43 Oliver 70, will have a model 72 mounted two way plow on it when I get it finished, 48 Oliver 60, 37 Oliver Hart-Parr 18-28, 38 McCormick 10-20 round spoke rubber, 41 Allis RC, 39 Allis B, 52 Ford 8N and, my first tractor, bought it when I was in 5th grade, a 27 D John Deere. Also other plows and equip. My question is, I hear that the prices of these old machines are dropping and the fact that any ambition that I used to have got up and left, do I sell now before the prices get lower or hang on to them. It would darned near kill me to sell but, with no ambition, they just sit in the shed and get taken out for a run a couple times a summer. I used to get them out every weekend. Just don't know which way to go. Looking for suggestions. Thank you
