In my late teens/early twenties I collected a few vintage tractors. I had a Farmall Cub with enough parts to build two more and parts to build most of the common implements. I also had an Allis Chambers G project on the go but Dad and I never managed to free the stuck valves in the engine. Unfortunately, when I finished university and got a real job it was five hours away. After my Dad passed away and I moved closer to home I was still two hours away and didn't have room for a project. When my mother sold up the place in the country they all had to be sold.
For a while we looked after a beautifully restored Case DC that belonged to a friend of Dad's who needed a new home for it when the tractor dealer he worked for, and stored it at, went bankrupt. The DC was unusual as it was a single front wheel model.
highland512, if you think G's are pricey, you should try buying the British equivalent, the David Brown 2D. They are a two cylinder diesel with air lift for the tooling. The main frame is the air tank (Muddy, that is another cool little diesel you guys didn't get).
