[AJD] Help me choose a model: Models 62, L, LA

[Louis]

Unless you have deep pockets, I would forget about the 62.  They are few and
far between.  I know a guy that purchased a 62 recently, he gave $45,000 for
it.  $3000 of that was for the correct belt pulley.  The tractor was
beautifully restored.

If you do go after a 62, be careful that it is for real.  I would call the
Ridenours.  They can tell you what to look for.

Bohem, who is on the list, probably can help you with what to look for.

I'm starting work on a new Buyers Guide. One of the seven main chapters will
have room for two large photos of tractors from this series (Models 62, L,
LA) as a guide to collectors. Two questions: What would be the ideal model?
What should the potential collector watch out for in these models while
shopping around?  Thanks. JD freelancer, Manitoba Canada.
