Thanks for all the warm welcomes ya'll gave me. Tells me again that the people are at least half the fun in this hobby!I was up in the hills logging yesterday, so I didn't have a chance to reply to most of the posts. At least the weather was fairly nice! (About the freezing point) It occurred to me that I didn't really mention anything about myself. I live near Barrhead, Alberta, Canada, on a small farm. I got into tractor collecting and restoration about a year ago, at the age of 15. Started with Deere, but am diversifying into Ferguson, Case, and soon, IH. I did work experience at a local Case-IH dealership last spring, and earned a healthy respect for International. Oh yes, a question: What is the parts availibility for the old IH's? Can I still get most parts through a Case-IH dealership? Again, thank you! Specter P.S. To Robert: Glad to hear from another Albertan. I've been up in the Peace Country a time or two, but I don't think as far as Manning. Just back in November, I was up in Grande Prairie to pick up a truck from one of my uncles. Beautiful country.
And yes, I am working on finding a red one! :-) I have my eyes open for a good model M or a W-series. Plenty of jobs for a smooth, strong running tractor around here!
