[QUOTE="335d, post: 5420618, member: 13498"] To restore something to like new condition, will rarely make you any money if you go to sell. People mostly restore their own tractors, so sentimental value. If you want something to sell again, buy something with original tin and paintwork with no rust if possible. Fix any oil leaks etc. In my opinion a tractor in it’s working clothes is worth more than a restored one. To restore a tractor to as new condition can be done with any old wreck if your pockets are deep enough. What to buy, who knows. People buying a classic normally buy the first tractor they drove, or what they dreamed of owning when they were at school. Normally what the local contractor or large estate owned. So for someone in their forties, you’re looking something 30 years old, like JD 2140, 2850,3350 etc, or Ford 7610,7810, ih 956,1056 etc, Marshall 802, 290 Massey etc. I can see the likes of counties, Ford 7000 etc going down in value in years to come, as the people who dreamed of owning one in their youth, will not always be around [/QUOTE]
