Personally, I think that in order to have a GOOD, fully functioning, mechanically good 720 or 730 you will need to spend about $7500 by the time all is said and done. Buy one for $6500, and find that a set of decals and paint are the ONLY things it will need, and you've done ok. The people who think that by purchasing one in the $3200 range, they've saved a pile of money, are fooling themselves. Unless you can literally STEAL one, you will have more money, eventually, in a cheap tractor than one which you purchased after someone else bought all of the replacement parts and installed them. it may also be, that if cosmetic repair work is not contemplated, and all that the tractor needs to do is function, you can get by with a lot less money that the $6500-7500 that RESTORED tractors command. If you don't need to get the perfect sheetmetal, don't have to have oem lights, and can get along with 3ph components that don't pass muster, but nevertheless work fine---so be it.
