Outside of say, rebuilding just engines, or various other parts, there isn't any money to be made re-habing these tractors.

Unless someone asks me to work on their machine, and know in advance the cost, I stay away. Rebuilds are for myself only as well.
I wish there was a market for it! That would be my dream job

There is no way they could EVER be JUST a lawn mower to me!!! They are an awesome childhood memory at the very least!!!
