So what hobby does your boss think you need to be spending time & money on??? :)
You didn't get hurt at that price. It partly depends on why you bought it - they are not that easy to drive (hard to shift, not a super tight turning radius) - but I think they are pretty collectable.
They didn't make too many of them. One of the JD magazines (either Green or Two Cylinder) had a big write-up a while back on that model along the lines of "last model of the D lineage"... In other words, it's the "grandson" of the long, time-honored line of JD's.
To me, it is THE classic western, wide-open spaces, hard core, old-style wheatland pulling tractor... It is one powerful old mule - just about the last before the Soundgard cab came on the scene and "pansy-ized" everything... ha.
Although, if I'd known as a kid working slave labor for my Dad what I was missing with all the neighbors in Soundgard cabs - I would have probably revolted at the time. ha...
There were a lot of hot, hot, hot old summer afternoons I spent driving that old beast with my feet up on the window ledge because the floor would get too hot even through work boots...
If you pull into a tractor show with it - all the little JD A's and IH M's & H's will all be scurrying for cover!! ha...
I'd keep it in the shed, if you spend much money on the A/C. We could never keep the A/C up - even on the 6030 Dad bought brand-new. The fan motors point straight up on top of the cab, for one thing, and moisture will ruin the motors very quickly.
They look pretty fearsome all "prettied up". I hope you got the engine covers with yours - those are very hard to find.
I wouldn't take $9000 for mine and hope Dad never sells his.

Today's Featured Article - Converting from 6 Volt to 12 Volt - by Chris Pratt. It's a common problem for old machines especially when the weather starts to dip below 40 and the tractor isn't fired up as often. You are probably used to the 12 volt Diehard, charged with 200 amp alternator of your 3/4 ton that always is ready and always starts. It's this type of experience that brings about the many queries we get for 12-volt conversion kits. Since only a few kits are available (we sell kits for the
