The "only 4000 made" part could go either way. Yes, it might be worth more due to rarity, but it might cost you a LOT more to restore due to rarity.
I definitely wouldn't talk price until I saw them in person. If it's just tractors w/o any implements or decks, the price should go way down I'd think.
Good luck, and I hope your wife comes around to your way of thinking...
