HELP! Mamma's involved now. Need opinions.

Ok, now that I have your attention, mamma and I had a very heated discussion, you know what I mean. She said one tractor has to go. 1450 #1 is the dual stick & #2 is the single stick. She wanted me to swap all the sheet metal from 2 to 1 and any parts that were bad, then part out #2. I don't believe in parting out this old iron. I'm glad when others do and I need parts, but I can't. Then she said sell both my CC tractors and attachments and go to HD or Lowes and buy a new one. My skin is still crawling over that one. Next was sell everything and buy a new JD or Cub Cadet sub compact. She doesn't realize what that would cost with at least mowing deck, tiller, front blade and front end loader. I'm torn here and don't know what to do. I'm sure you've been checking my posts, so you know both need work, #1 is my baby and I know the dual sticks are rare. #2 is in a lot better shape paint wise. #1's engine, I rebuilt last year, #2 engine sounds go, but other than that, I know nothing about it. Can't read either hour meter. I have the 42 and 50 inch decks, QA32A and 1450 #2 on Craig's list. She keeps a spread sheet on ALL my tractor related expenses, so I had to list for what I have in them, but I include open to offers. I'm going to try to do some horse trading as I need an extension for my tiller or find a #2 tiller + I have Agri-Fab dethatcher, plug aerator, wagon & lawn sweeper to get out of here. My daughter needs a tractor for mowing an Mamma said give her #2. I asked her if she had lost her mind? I wasn't giving her a tractor that nice for my Grandsons to tear up. That was a HUGE mistake. There's a cot in the new shed now and curtains on the windows. I need some thoughts here so I don't lose my butt and try to keep her happy too.
