Well,you got some good advice here,but let me warn you!There are some real good,honest mechanics thatll work on it for you for an honest price.but be careful you dont get into one of these guys who tries to rip you off!As mentioned,you can do most of the work yourself.Me personally,I can do the mechanical end of it but I aint no body man!I cant paint or take a dent or sand down a ruff spot without screwing something up!Just to give you some fiqures for my M,engine was ok but most of the gaskets leaked so ALL of them got changed.Accually all of them on the whole tractor were changed.No internal enigne or tranny work at all.rebuilt generator,new wiring harness,new fenders,tires and misc nuts and bolts,seat and steering wheel,vinyl decals,paint and primer,one rear and one front rim,and my belt pulley came in at around three grand,(including some major shipping charges)Guy had to do ALOT,and I mean ALOT of cleaning,straightening,andspit polishing on it and it all came in at around 4000 for the whole works!Could have saved alot of money but wouldnt have it done now!Shes done ben to two shows,but if I had done the work my self,it would still be sitting in the barn in peices!(ANd rusty too,Ilike I said I cant paint)
