Just went to the dealership,after hours,to see if the tractor is cleaned up.It appears they did clean it and touch up some paint.I don't know exactly what was done as I haven't been talking to the salesman.I really can't decide if I want it or not.If it was the first time I had ever seen it,I would buy it.But knowing what it has been through changes the way I look at it.I do know putting a little paint over rust is not a permanent,proper repair.As I previously stated,if I was only buying it to make money with it ,it would be fine.I realize I am being very fussy but that is how I am.This experience has certainly changed my perception of what a new tractor should be.Maybe I should be looking for something used,at least then I will be expecting rust and weathering.I did just call about a used John Deere 110 TLB which is similar to the L45.Something to think about.
Kcender . . some will tell you to "grow up and grow a pair". Others will tell you "its a tractor for crying out loud". Still others will say its a major investment and you want to be happy.
At this point . . . what I'd tell you is our opinions no longer matter. You are who you are and if you feel you have to change to satisfy others . . then you are certain to not find happiness. At this point . . don't run away . . don't retreat from whatever feelings you have. Choose your method and desire and act on it whatever it is.
