I think we have all been through that, I was up to 7 ER's and 4 MKV's before the wife said enough was enough. So rebuilt three of the ER's and sold them to woodworkers wanting ER's and turned one of the MKV's into a Mini so about time to start looking again. You can always use extra part laying around or even full machines just in case LOL

A slightly famous antique tractor friend was collecting Allis Chalmers tractors. He got too many tractors to suit his wife but she allowed him to buy parts of tractors to use in fixing up the ones he had. He started bringing tractors home in sections so she would think they were parts. He would park the sections in the woods until things cooled off then migrate the sections to the shop and quietly reassemble them into complete tractors and move them to a barn when she wasn't home...
