Listen.... if you wanted that sunshine pumped where the sun never shines, then you can find that sort of reply on some of the other forums out there. :sidelaugh: :sidelaugh:
On this site... you get brutal honesty. :thumbsup: :trink:
Right now, it is a show piece that anyone would be proud to own. However, we both know that it did not look like that when it left the plant floor in Winneconne and for me and some others in the collector world, that's not acceptable. But then again, some people like to modify/customize what they own and that's OK too. Look at phaon's tractor or what CaseRacer just built. Who wouldn't be happy owning either of those?
You have now filled in some blanks. What difference does value make at this point? You wanted it for a show tractor and now you have a show tractor. There's joy in that. Forget about whether it's worth $300.00 or $1000.00. As long as it brings you pleasure in life, that's all that matters.
As for the attachments, you could try to sell them but they will likely be a tough sell because of shipping costs. Now if you start going to shows....... then you might do much better on a direct sale basis. I don't believe that the tiller had a rock guard on it when it was new.
