I must admit that the personal value of my 51 8N is outstanding. It is the most important item in the maintenance of my 25 acres of heaven. Today I spent about 1.5 hours grooming the driveway (700 feet of blue chip and other stuff). Over the last 14 years of ownership I have spent about $6000 on the tractor, engine rebuild, various minor repairs, and implements ('bout 10). On top of that I don't have to depend on a dealer to work on it up-I am sure you all are tired of hearing it, but the 12v conversion and pointless ignition have eliminated tuneups all together. Clean gas, a grease gun, regular oil changes, and covered storage have made it trouble free. My son plays soccer with a kid whose father is part of a family owned tractor business that sells Kubuto's and such. The entry prices of those stun me and the people who own them have them picked up every year for servicing. Seems like a real scam compared to what I spend. He agrees that there's no money in working on N's 'cause there is so little to do to keep them running. Is this progress?

Chuck, I'm with you. Several of my collegues have bought tractors over the years. One went for the $15,000 JD 4X4 etc. etc., two I convinced to buy 8N's, and one bought a Fergie. Who do you think does the most grumbling about his tractor or gets the most abuse from a not so understanding spouse?

Who?

Yeah, we all know the answer, but we love hearing these stories.
