I don't want to stir anything up, but...
Sometime in the possibly near future, I plan on investing in a new-to-me tractor to add to the menagerie. We currently farm with a 2550 Deere and an 841 Ford. I have always wanted a 50 or 55 series Deere with MFWD and SoundGard (2950, 3255, 4050, 4255, etc.). Spent many hours daydreaming on Tractor House, but almost everything that sells is hours or days from me.
Looking for something in the 80 to 110 HP range.
Unfortunately, I don't have the resources or the time to head off across multiple states every time a listing piques my interest. But I have seen a few different places that seem to take in used tractors, give them a run-through, "restore" them, and then put them out on their lot to sell.
Anyone on here familiar with any of these places? To me, that seems like the route to take, as long as I could be relatively certain I was dealing with someone honest. I also know that a fresh coat of paint and a good can of de-greaser can hide a lot of issues, so I would want to take my business to someone who is the "real deal" and doesn't cut corners.
I spoke to one gentleman in particular who seemed "above board" (of course, you can never know for sure), but I'll save his name for now.

If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
