I'm in need of some advice. Over the course of 5-6 years my wife and I got really deep into diesel truck drag racing, it set us back an absurd amount of money. Over the years we easily invested $65k.
In the end we sold a 10 second truck for a fraction of what we spent on it. Diesel drag racing and diesel truck pulls always went hand in hand at every event, so I know the cost there is equally as high. We just recently went to a tractor pull as spectators and I was hooked. I've started to look for tractors, but I honestly don't know what's "good".
I don't want to go down the performance path again. I just want something as close to stock as I can get. Our goal is to go to a pull, hang out, hook, load up, and go home without broken parts.
I came across a 1941 John Deere model A. Serial number 501xxx. They are asking $1,300. All the description says is "good running tractor".
Is this price too high? I realize it needs new rear tires, I'm guessing that'll be another $1k. I'd probably let it sit as it is until spring if I bought it.
I'm not brand loyal, I'm open to anything. I didn't realize tractors were this cheap! I love to turn wrenches, I hate breaking parts lol.
