Well, Hurst I guess I look at it a little different. I would go with a tractor just a tiny bit newer that had live PTO and full time hydraulics. Something like the Farmall 300 to 450 series or John Deere 50 to 620 series. They really aren't much harder to work on. Can cost a tiny bit more to get but the value is so much more and much easier to resale if you go that route. If you use them when you are done you have a MUCH more versatile machine to do a lot more with. The best way of getting your money back out of a restoration is to use it. Stick an ad in the local paper for mowing and discing and you could possibly come close to breaking even, depending on where you are, plus the ownership becomes a lot more meaninguf.
