Some people have more money than sense. A lot of them collect old green tractors.
Back in the 1990s there was an old Deere 6030 at a farm sale that went for $2500, I knew that the local JD dealer had completely gone through the engine and transmission on that thing a few years earlier because back in the late 80s when I was in high school I stopped in there one day to pick up some parts for dad and saw that 6030 completely disassembled in the shop. When the auctioneer said "last call" I almost bid $3000 but the radiator was leaking, it needed new rubber, and a paint job, and I knew the old man would kill me if I brought that big green fuel hog home so I didn't.
I sure wish I had bought that thing now! One went for $64,000 at a a collector auction in Iowa.
