Dalet,I Think you just touched on a importain fact,Its collectors like your talking about that takes the fun out of this hobby,its not about money,its about restoring history and living out your past.I have a collection of junk that Ill never get even part of my money back.
I love old tractors,and there history,and I cant stand to see them go to the scrap yard.I never buy a tractor thats running,but always ones thats in fence rows locked up.
Its memory lane, remenbering helping my father farm and work on his wore out tractors,and being kicked by the crank handle when I was just a boy
Its the feeling of hearing a motor start for the first time in 30-40 years after some poor farmer gave up on it or actually died and left it behind
I collect mostly old IH F series and McCormick Deering tractors that will never be worth much and none of my family has any intrest in them,one day when Im to old or even die I hope some one will stop by and just give them a better home than I have
