I bought the International 340 about 10 years ago for $1,000 and spent another $2,000 getting it restored. The IH 340 was acquired from a friend who passed away, I wanted to keep him in our memories.
This is my favorite for tractor drives, the Farmall M is a 1941 that I restored. My friend Mike Emmert is posing on it before being killed in a farming accident, I framed this picture for his widow.
As you can tell I like them all! I also have an Oliver 88 Row Crop and a John Deere 2020. The John Deere B was also bought from a friend and repainted by me. The last picture is a few of the tractors together.
