I thought this was over. My 135 is worth more than when it was new and it's a 1965. 135's are the most sought after used tractor in the 40HP class. There were the most popular tractor in the world during their day as well. Your tractor is more HP and at least 15 years newer. It might be worth more but it won't have better total value than a good 135 diesel. You're talking about a $40,000 new tractor. Price out a new 100HP tractor that a real farmer would use. You can do a lot of fixing for $100,000+ and what if you need a combine, add another $300,000+ and a tandem grain truck $150,000 and a swather, etc, etc, etc. Sorry, most people don't have that kind of money to spend on new equipment and what happens if they have a bad year due to flooding or something else beyond their control. The big payments still have to be made. Not much difference with smaller tractors. It's not like you read of tractor injuries on a daily basis. Some people could be injured getting the paper out of the mailbox. Safety is up to the operator on a new or old machine but that was never the topic. Like someone else has said in the past, the JD dealer always has a shop full of tractors getting fixed, new and old. Why don't you trade your tractor in on a new one before it costs you more to fix it. I'm sure a new tractor will be plusher, quieter and safer than your old one and since you have so much money, it shouldn't be a problem at all. Good luck. Dave

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
