Hi guys...Allen, hope your wife is doing well. Prayers work great don't they?
Ok...here goes. I went to a sale Saturday morning. Didn't really go to buy a lot, they had a metal lathe I was intrested in...it went too high for me, but.
I stuck around to see what my friend got...and just could not pass 2 bids.
First is a IH 450D. I have one, but figured it would be good for parts. It has 4 new tires and rims on it. Runs well...typical seaps and leaks here and there. It may just be better than the one I have.
Second was a JD 50. The guy flooded it and it would not start. Again, I have one but like the Farmall...4 new tires, looks rough, runs sweet. We pulled it to start it and it really runs nice.
Now, I have to think...ok, do I add them to the list to clean and paint, or do I leave them in their work clothes? If I keep the 450D, it has to earn it's keep. I would put a bushog on it and mow pasture with it. I know they do not use a lot of fuel...even the TA seems ok. It has an after market 3 point that went with it...but not mounted.
The 50 I would like to keep to pull kids on our hayrides at church. I really did not have a lot of use for it.
I only paid $550 for the IH, and $475 for the 50. Heck, the tires and rims are worth more than that.
So...to paint or not to paint, that is the question......and no, I am not going to sell them...yet.

Two-Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. Whether for product liability or because the aftermarket parts and labor business is lucrative, this concept is disturbingly prevalent. Fortunately when you step into your shop and make that jump 50 years back in time to work with your old tractor, this concept goes out the window. Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
