Hi all, great, great advice from everyone, thank you! I'm a sucker for vintage machinery - have a 1948 Delta Bandsaw and a 1960s 8" Toolkraft Drill Press. Both need some TLC yet and it's probably not a good idea to take on another PROJECT :lol: But for both of those there's suppliers for parts and also even just modern replacements that can fit on those old machines (like bandsaw wheels & belts). I can even order stuff from Amazon. And the reason for getting them is because they're really good workhorses versus the lightweight stuff from China these days. But I suppose I don't have the capabilities to work on a 3000+ lb machine that as others have said are actually underpowered compared to what's out there today.

The 2N and Moline are $2300 and $2000 respectively. 2N actually has a snowplow, bucket loader & tire chains. Moline was being used as "indoor forklift" but I don't see hydraulics in the ad. Not really after a real logging machine but when I finally get my arborist certification I want to have capability for taking down small trees. My budget ... welll.... I'm also a sucker for bargains but not a sucker for expensive replacement parts or for having a dangerous machine if there's something safer for some more money. So I can afford $5k used and maybe up to $14k down the line for a brand new sub-compact tractor.

I wish I had the money for a skid steer :D Around here can't them used for less than 15-20k. I saw once 8k but it was really beat up.
So I'll steer clear of these two oldies and look for something from at least the 70's or 80's then. :)

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
