Combines and tractors.
Does she know your mint restored Avery is worth around $100,000 ?
More than a mint restored Blazer or Jimmy!

Thanks Terry. I can't believe that's true. You'd have to show us some comps. I don't think her mother would let us keep it if it was worth that much But the experience of restoring it was priceless.

My last summer in college I worked at the John Deere dealership in Columbus, GA. I grew up watching my uncle farm with Generation II stuff and loved it. It's funny but my Eleanor is probably a '77 4230...not a truck or a car. The way they're going up though, by the time I've got enough space to have one I won't be able to afford it.
