Stewart: As others have said, we are not sure of his motives. I will throw another in. I have a friend who professionally restores tractors for other people. He has done close to 60 Farmalls for one customer. The customer has substancially more than 60 restored Farmalls, so my friend didn't get to do all of them. He tells me the average H, M, 300, 400, etc. is costing $10,000. Can. which today is $7,700. US money. That includes a cost of buying the tractor for restoration. As we all know this hobby is not much of a money maker, doubt if it ever will be, but just may be some people would like to see it that way. So the guy could be an excentric millionaire wanting to tantilize us. Don't let him bother you, guys, for the time being he falls in the same catergory as the guy who would bash a tractor that sold 250,000 copies when new. Every once in a while these guys let us know just how much of an idiot they really are.
