I would consider this sled to be "investment grade" if it's as described. This means if detailed and properly stored away for another 10-20 years the return would be greater than the investment. Of course, this is what you tell the wife. The reality is you have something truly special to display and enjoy. I horded quite a bit of NOS deere stuff several years ago and am fortunate enough to still have it. If this one is sold, I hope the sled is stored away as it's heartbreaking to see an extremely rare piece destroyed by neglect.

I seen it. What was up with the trailer hitch? Why install a universal hitch and not run the machine.

I have to admit I didn't even notice the hitch haha I didn't really look at the back too close. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures though. I was too busy helping unload it and cleaning it to take pictures.
