Old F-14, say there young fellar, a couple things come to mind. Don't get discouraged, but the antique/classic tractor pricing is unusually regional. I'm more into late 40 to early 60s and good rebuildable project tractors out in Iowa, Nebraska and even Minn. are about a 500-1000$ bucks cheaper than here in Michigan. I'm a poor boy in a rich man's hobby, I get that, but still I haven't found the cure. More importantly, and I think you've already figured this out is; whether it be a tractor, boat, car, house what ever, there's two ways that people, both buyers and sellers look at a situation. One is to imagine what the potential is, and the other is to look at the work entailed to achieve that potential. It took me a long time to learn this distinction but once you do you're much more likely not to over spend. Yeah, if you're equipped with a machine shop and all the accrued knowledge and tools it might be an easy thing to knock a tractor down and restore it, but I'm not going to pay for some one else's sentimental value, or the object's unreasonable perceived value.
Anyway, you didn't mention what part of the greatest state in the union: the great lakes state, that you're in. Sounds like you're on the east side.

Good luck in your endeavors, and let us know what you end up wrenching on,

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
