Money to fix things

We bought the 1951 McCormick H-4 that has been here for some 30 years at the time we got this place. I am about to get the tractor nut reported by a neighbor to live nearby over for a going over of the thing. I want it to be a reliable starter when the snow gets deep enough to need it.

The thing was not very expensive, and is apparently quite reliable.

A couple of days ago, we drove past a collection of old tractors parked around a farm. It looks like they might be for sale, though I don't know. If anyone near the Finger Lakes is looking for an old tractor, I'll be glad to help them find the place again.
