[AT] Farmall M value?

[James Bray]

Rick,

How "restored" is it?  A former implement dealer I know restored an MD that 
had some sentimental value for him because his dad had sold it.  He had 
$7,000= dollars in the job before he was finished.

A godd restoration might be worth more than the $1,600 quoted you by Kevin.
