I am posting this here not because I want to discount the big 3, but because I don’t want to rule out the little guys also. I am looking for the best place to buy a “project” tractor. I love working on old, and abused equipment[ya, I know, I’m strange/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif ]and I will be looking for a bigger tractor in the future, and don’t have a lot of money to spend. I have looked at dealers, and in the want ads, but it seems that people only sell “sellable” tractor. I keep my eyes open when I go down the road to see if I see anything dead in a treeline, but no luck. Also any tips as to what is unfixable in a tractor? I can fix most anything, but don’t have much experience with tractors. So any ideas where I could look? Also I have an open mind. Old, newer, US built, Japan, third world, whatever, as long as I can get parts. Thanks.
