Quite an exciting day at the auction!

glad you had a fun day. You did fine on the tractor. Something like it here would be that price to a grand or so. As said, the 3pt, rear PTO, and sleeve hitch parted out are worth more than you spent. Hopefully she runs out without major work. The tractor would look great back to it's original color. sorry, I really like the desert sunset tractors, my next will be one. Will be waiting for the getter going thread.
A 44" blade in that condition 3-400, so you did great.
The truck will be a cool project.

I completely agree with you. I would prefer it with its original colors. Right now it will be all about making it and the implements mechanically sound. Maybe some time down the road I will get it back in it’s correct work clothes!
