[AT] AT Digest, Vol 74, Issue 3

[Dean Vinson]

Dean, yes, a few weeks ago.   Not without regret, but with clarity that the time had come.

 

I did feel some gratitude that it went to a good home:   It was purchased by the young man shown in this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX1oAk6fxm8.    A year or so after the video was made a barn fire destroyed his 620, and he’d been on the lookout for a replacement worthy of his grandfather and their shared memories of the other tractor.

I’ve purchased eight tractors over the years:   Two Super Ms, two 3020s, an M, a Case VAH, a JD 620, and a Ford 3600.  Still have the second Super M, the second 3020, and the Ford.   All the others went to new owners for significantly less money than I had in them, so I’m accustomed to looking at my tractor purchases as a moderately expensive source of entertainment and education.   I think I did okay on the latest 3020, but I suppose I’ll find out for sure if I ever decide to sell it.  :)

Eddie, I feel your pain. But, none of us wants to pay more than we have to for our toys. It’s a catch “22”. I almost always end up selling for less than I have in a tractor or an engine. Hence, I don’t sell many pieces. I have a 4 Mule Team Associated, circa 1917, that I’ve had up for sale for 20 yrs. I want a $1000.00 for it and won’t take any less. So, I keep dragging it around. Keep the smoke coming.  Arthur Southwell, Arcadia, FL USA

I have been thinning my heard of tractors...but I can't get people to pay decent respectable prices for anything...

I have practically given away several just to get them to better places.

 

I spent most of the winter and,$2500 getting a few running..

I don't want to get rid of everything but 

My sheds are full
