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?)

Not me!!!! Evan if unk sam took 40% in taxes you could take in over 12 million per year at 3% on your money. Kick back and enjoy life for once and do what you want and not have to worry about weather,prices,ect.

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.............. Tom

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!!!

I agree with Tomstractors hire a couple of guys to fix up what I already have while I start buying more and having a little fun farming WITH money and take time to get to some of the tractor shows.

Think bigger how much to buy AGCO it’s on the stock market so it’s always for sale buy it and we could have Allis Chalmers again. Probably be a market if they where USA made

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.
