P.S. if i restore the nice 147 i probably would end up keeping it seeing as i am a sucker for nice running restored cubs. Not to mention 147s are hard to come by in CT.
I think the key is to think all the way through, what you want to end up with in the end (if any). And then be patient to get there. If you are just flipping them the clean them both up and get them functioning nicely and pass along. From what I have read here, restorations dont really make any money (much more in it than it could be sold for), so its about getting the tractor you want in the end.

I have this compulsion to want to restore them all.
