Thanks for all the help guys!
Just one clarification: Even though I'm retiring, I'll only be in my late 40's (I am a software engineer, and am tired of traveling so much), so I'll be able to handle the manual transmission and steering for some time yet. I already have a '62 IH dumptruck, a backhoe, and a couple of JD Model B's, so I know what I'm getting into. The terain is just too rough for my backhoe, and I know I would end up rolling it over.
Although I would of course like to spend no more than necessary, I would just as soon spend a little extra for one in good shape and ready to work. I mean, it's going to last the rest of my life, unlike all of those brand new $35,000 pickups out there.
I'm going to read every word of this forum, and I'll get back with more questions.
Thanks again.
