I've never been into vintage tractors. When I was a kid I used to watch the big modern farm tractors out in the field and was fascinated by them... not by the old narrow front end tractors that just looked old and ugly to me.
But now, I think I'm starting to develop a keen interest in a vintage JD 110. Something about a restored mower from the 60s or 70s is quite appealing. It's no wonder, I also have a soft spot for some cars from the 60s, though find myself driving a new car for reliability/features/comfort/performance/etc.
All of that said, I was browsing craigslist this evening and found this 1965 John Deere 110 for $850... while it's not the cheapest 110 around, it looks like it's in great shape. Good thing it's in Michigan and I'm in California or else I'd probably find myself $850 poorer in the next couple of weeks. Of course, the other issue is that my lawn is about 1/10 of an acre. :thumbdown:
