Here's how I rationalize and justify to myself spending way too much on several things I've bought/done over the years.
Example: About 5 years ago I spent over 7k restoring a 1953 Farmall stage 1 Super H. No regrets as I still work and play with this tractor. It was the challenge of getting it done that motivated me.
I had the money, if I didn't I would work a little harder getting it. If it's rare and I really wanted one I just bought it.
I've also gotten some really good deals over the years.
I responded to a CL add about a Farmall Super C with fast hitch. Had been sitting in the shed 25+ years and the roof had collapsed on it. I negotiated a $500 sales price with the understanding that I would help tear the shed down in exchange for any and all equipment that goes with it. We ended up finding the complete mounted planters, cultivators, fertilizer side dressers. I spent a couple hundred getting fluids changed, tuned up and running. I still use this tractor in my garden to this day.
Every time I think I might be paying a little too much i remember all the really good deals I've gotten over the years.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
