Give it a shot. Remember that Bill Gates dropped out of college to start Microsoft and a lot of other successful businesses were started by guys like you who are passionate about something and took a risk based on that passion. If you don't try it, you'll always have the "what ifs."
You're young, now's the time to try it. Just wait until you have a wife and a couple of kids. You chances of trying it then is pretty much zilch.
My opinion is that the repair part of the business is where you'll be sucessful. Restoration jobs don't come along every day, but there are an endless number of hobby farm/food plot guys here in Minnesota that need that 8n to run again. Word of mouth is your best advertising. I helped one neighbor a year ago split his 460 to fix the TA. Ever since then I've had a lot of random people stop by asking if I could help them with their tractor. This all came from word of mouth. It's not a businees for me and I don't do it for money, it's just an addiction! (I just ask for a bottle of whisky in trade for my mechanical skills). Get your name on craigslist, go to the shows, LeSueur, Albany, Hutchinson, etc. Good Luck!
