Well it is up to each here , I have been fixen up junk since 1969 for my owen use and for 20 years for people to buy and use painted more tractors then one person should have over the years . My pride and joy is my 54 Farmall S/MTA thati am the second owner that was bought on june 27 1990 at a large dealer only auction that was as rough as a cob but it did run and start on it's owen and the T/A worked and two of the three lites worked tires were junk had a rough old loader with a blade that had more weld then org. steel and pig poop all over it crusted on and not one brake and leaks all over it . Was bought to be my second tractor and planting tractor . The ft, grill as destroyed to the point that i figured that i would have to find a used one that was like tryen to find HENS teeth . A week in the shop and all mechanical issues were fixed and i turned it over to my buddy for the paint work a twelve pack and 6 hours mybuddy with his ELIF hammer and the grill was like new . five hours with the hot water pressure washer two days scrapen and sanding the chassie was ready another 12 pack and it was red the next weekend the sheet metal was done and on the tractor . The next weekend it was in the field balen hay . four years later it was at the red power round up and of the 54 1954 S/MTA's there it was one of the two choosen for the video . At that show there were 7 tractors that were painted by my buddy that were painted with the Case I h 2150 red and all of them were painted with the 2150 so here it is all in what ya want to spend and are you going to use it for what it was ment to be used for or are ya going to fix it up and hide it in a heated garage and only bring it out on sunny days and look at it . Now granted after 17 years of sun wind rain dust dirt grease gun nicks branches getting on and off it fuel spills gasket seepage she is now starten to look she has been used and maybe in ten more years i may have to paint her again.
