Well it happened to me again. I found an ad in the local shopper advertising a W6 with a disassembled engine. Decided to go take a look, not really intending to buy it. When I got there, true to the ad it was a W6 and the engine was disassembled with most of the pieces neatly laid on a small utility trailer. I was studying the whole picture trying to decide if the Winter was going to be long enough to allow full reassembly of the tractor. My wife came with, and after inventorying the parts on the trailer she told me that the tractor was badly in need of my help. She told me if I didn't help this tractor, she wouldn't help me haul home anymore tractors or implements. I still wasn't convinced, and was about to leave, when the seller got another phone call asking about the tractor. The caller was only interested to know if the gears and rear end were in good shape, as he was going to stick a V-8 in it and make a modified pulling tractor out of it. My wife gave me "that look" when she caught wind of what was going to happen to the tractor and pulled my checkbook out of my pocket and told me to pay the man. So once again I saved a red tractor from being parted out or used in a way IH had not originally thought of. Looks like it might ba a long Winter.
