I thought It was a misprint, $3,000 seemed reasonable, don't know the seller or the tractor but would like to see a picture

If she's boasting about 10k in repair, I doubt it was a misprint.

I'm still shaking my head trying to figure HOW you could possibly spend that kind of coin on ONE tractor ! Heck, for 1/2 that you can have my 3 D-14s,their implements, the Gleaner and a parts G.

Then again, if the work was done by a $100/hr 'tractor restoration expert', it could add up....but for 30K, I'd expect 400-500 pictures of EVERYTHING being replaced, step by step.

I have a buddy who made a living for one whole year restoring a 1925 JD Spoker D for a customer. Final product est worth was 75K. Initial purchase was around 15K and over 40K was invested into the project.
