Default Re: Is there a most "desirable/collectable" for restoration?

It didn't really start to cackle until it was in a hard pull. I had a mounted cultivator on mine, and while it was just above idle, it was as loud as my MF150 at full throttle.

What might pop up as the FIRST reason a 435 wouldn't be the #1 choice is the fact that they sell for a hefty price nowdays. "average" to rough, maybe $7500. A well done restoration, maybe $10,000 to $12,000. Mint original, over $15,000. I saw one sell at auction 2 years ago for $17000. You can buy a whole barnyard full of B's for that money!
