Best tractor for restoration

Posted by Hurst on February 27, 2005 at 11:06:44 from (66.129.5.5):

I am looking into finding myself a summer project and want to restore a tractor. I was just curious for some input on what make and model would be easiest to restore. I would like to restore an old allis chalmers d series, but those are hard to come by. We have 2 farmall 140s that are around mid 70's models (have key ignition), which are a little newer than I want. I have seen a farmall M in the photo classifieds that is near where I live (Midway, Ky). It is not running right now, but for $750 it seems like something I could have fun with and learn from. I am 15, but my dad has a shop on our horse farm, so I will have a place to store it. I don't want to spend more than about $1250 up front and want to have something that will sell well when it is finished. Any input on a model or brand. Thanks
