Hi guys
I am looking to purchase a old tractor for a local church auction where the proceeds go to support the work of missionaries around the world. At this auction there is usually about 10 old tractors of varying vintage, from collectors to usable hobby farm type (8N's and such. We are told the tractors sell low, so if you are in the Northwest it might be worth your time. Still kind of new to these old tractors, but I am pretty good at turning wrenches, so repairs don't bother me much. I would be lying if I told you I know much about these old ones though, mags and hand cranks are something still kind of new to me.
I have found 2 tractors, same money. Give me your thoughts. I am not the paint it up type and paint is almost wasted at this auction it seems. One is a 1930 Farmall Regular on steel. I have to admit it is the oddest looking tractor I have ever seen. With the narrow steel rear wheels it looks like a skeleton. I have attached a link here - http://yakima.craigslist.org/grd/5186777393.html. There is another one that is a F20 on rubber, looks pretty nice on the ad. The link for the F20 is here - http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/grd/5265321696.html. I haven't seen either in person, they are each several hours away. Which will have the most value? Not a huge value in Farmall, more the JD type buyers, trying to change that though. I can bring more iron for the same money. LOL Thanks for all your help. Blaine
