Rob Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Same way around here with John Deere, and IH tractors. 25 years ago an old tractor was worth it's weight across the scales. Today a "plain Jane" IH "H" will brind $2500 not running.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
