When I told my wife (city girl) I wanted to restore an antique trcator in my retirement she asked why I didn't just go down to Home Depot and buy one, they weren't that expensive!! Does this bother you "tractor" guys like it does me? I grew up in the country we had real tractors. Smallest things we had were the SC Case and 861 Ford diesel. We have had some large(for their day) tractors, LA Case, John Deere R, 830 dual range diesel Case, gents and ladies of this site, those are tractors!! Why does somebody put an old Allis Chalmers riding lawn mower in the ebay antique tractor site and think anybody will be interested. There should be a categrory in ebay, YT and other sites for these items. Yes they are collectables. Some of the guys in my tractor club restore them also, but they do know the difference. Does this bother you all as much as it does me? Now to climb down off my soap box...
