somewhere around 700 million dollars, give or take a couple million. I would go around buying up old M thru M3 and L thru L3 combines and rebuild them for resale. Have a small factory dedicated to that and would update certain things where convenient like a reverser and heavier shoe and replace certain chain drives with belt drives etc, and I wouldn't care if I ever made a dime doing it. Just dreaming today.

I would buy the 80 ac down on the corner. Get a 6080 Fwa with a cab. Haul my WD45 and implements down there and farm till all the money was gone.(8-10 years?)
sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?"

I would hire a couple of mechanics and a body shop painter and rebuild all my old stuff and make it like new again. And buy a bunch more. I might even create a vintage 1960's dealership and maybe make one for each brand.............. TomTongue

tomstractorsandtoys has the correct.idea. I would buy the 80a and build a 80x200 Morton building and hire a couple of mechanics and a body man. My job would be to drag the projects in. I have lots of ideas and a poor completion record. I need to be Jay Leno instead of Jay Power. And cold beer @ 5 o'clock for all!!!

Wonder if AGCO wouldn't sell all rights to pre 100 series tractors for a song. I sure as heck wouldn't want their current business structure anyway. But new CA's, WD45's and D21's would be a fun business to tinker around with. Oh, and new Stinson Stationwagons coming off a line across the street.
