You really have several options that I think you are overlooking...
Does your wife not collect anything???
Let her drive the best running one and see for herself...
The next time she brings home another... anything that she already has one of, ask her why she needed another one.
Remind her that Cub Cadets only increase in value, and being this one was free and only needs minor repairs once you get it finished, it should fetch quite a price when she has your auction after you pass. So in reality you are only thinking of her.
Tell her it's because you don't have room for an antique automobile.
Tell her that any fella with Two Old Cub Cadets AND a Wife as Pretty as Her is the envy of the neighborhood.
The list goes on and on... You just have to use as little imagination.
