Title: Waterloo Boy Tractor,, just had to share..
Post by: SIGNGUY on June 04, 2008, 10:25:50 am
I'm in the insurance business, and had this client the other day tell me about his antique tractor.. he had been restoring it for years and really didn't know much on value. He got it done and showed it off to a few people who started telling him what it was worth. He had it appraised and it was valued at $160,000!!  he bought it for 100 buck a few years back, he put some money into it thinking it would be worth 20k he thought... naturally he was suprised and he's keeping it .. I just wrote a policy for him to cover it..
Thought i'd share.. It's not Restored Vendo 81.... but still a pretty cool old tractor.
