Well I joined thw world of red tractors 3 months ago when I bought a '48 "H". This week I began to tear her down for the restoration. Removed sheet metal,disconnected and removed radiator last night.

I'm just not set up for that kind of job in my garage. being a truck mechanic by trade I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Exhaust manifold nuts have been for a week now and will be for a couple more before I even think of trying to remove. Thats all for now. I just wanted to feel like part of the "club".
