We bought a new...well a used...Farmall B. It is a one owner unit. My father in law bought it new 60 and some odd years ago... It was his first tractor.
We gave $400 dollars for it, that may be too much since he paid around 700 for it:laugh:
I couldn't decide if I should start a thread in the restoration forum, but my wife doesn't want to restore it. She said it has looked the same for the past 40 years, and will look the same for the next 40:laugh: It doesn't have one bit of paint on it. Farmall was smart to make the faded paint match rust:mocking: My wife was very happy to get the tractor away from her father. He is 85 years old and don't need it, but he thinks he does.
She has raked an incalcuable number of acres of hay with it in her life. It's going to need the usual maintenance, tires, and some tlc. It hasn't been ran in a couple of years, but it drove into the barn under it's own power. I will get some pictures this weekend.
