Steve from MO please contact me as I may be able to help you... Repairing and selling old tractors is a viable business. I must disagree with most in that there is a potential for a reasonable side income to be made.Lots of "non-agri wise" suburbanites moving out of the city to have theyre five to ten acres and no clue as how to maintain it. Most are so overburdened by debt a used tractor is the only option.You will still need to maintain a full time job because these types of sales are seasonal.Be prepared as well for the type of person who typically would be looking for equipment like this, BUYER BEWARE,AS IS.You gotta consider the genuine "farmer" is most likely not going to fall in this demographic as Dealers,farm sales and auctions are theyre primary source for such purchases.Talk to Austin sales in Harrisonville he operates a salvage yard and sells some used tractors.If this is a passion of yours I would encourage you to pursue this.Dont get discouraged naysayers have been around longer then the antique tractors we enjoy.
