[AJD] Lots of green tractor for the money

[Dean Vinson]

Sounds like this particular fantasy ought to stay that way, huh?  Okay.  But
the A and the 60 are for sure.  Probably a New Generation rowcrop also.  And
the barn and the land.  Better get to work on winning that lottery.

Those were made in the mid 1970's.  Parts alone for the engine overhaul kit
will be over $5,000. The transmissions in those were notoriously famous for
failing, and overhaul costs for a tranny is 12 to 15k. So in my opinion even
$1575 is risky. Also consider moving it....nowdays it runs us $.50 a mile
just for fuel, and a heavy hauler is liable to cost $5.00 per mile or more..
Not a wise investment in my opinion.
