Ya Allan, you got a boatload of money in those thirty year old tractors, but they're now brand new with the work you've had done to them. And where else could you get a 100 hp tractor, WITH a bit of nostalgia, for about $14,000.00.

I can work on them without having to go back to electronics school to change the ampacity on the tri-directional voltage ampisitor to the diodes that run the ground sensors for the terrain reading modems mounted in the rear cabin of the vehicle. Git-er-done, Harley
