Thank you for your kindness and condolences to a stranger. I loved my parents deeply and it has been and still is difficult to deal divying up the personal possessions and coping with the emotions. I will try and answer the questions from all the responses I received in one posting. I hope to be able to get a picture soon and I will post it so maybe someone can give me a better perspective on the tractor. If I didn't live in the city or had a place to store it I would consider the rebuilding process. I am planning to rebuild the old kerosene engine (well pump). This took some doing with my wife and I know the tractor is a no go in the backyard. The tractor does have rubber tires which dad replaced about 13-15 years ago. I may be wrong on the vintage of the tractor since the tractor has always had rubber tires. I remember dad always cautioning me when I would crank it because he said this model had a reputation for reversing the crank and breaking arms. The tractor did run about 13 years ago. The last memory I have of my dad and the tractor was plowing up potatoes. He bought a plow (potato plow?) at an auction and we hooked it up to the tractor and it brought the potatoes to the surface as we had hoped. A lot easier than digging. I have this experience dubbed from 8 mm to DVD and it is a precious memory. I know of two people locally who may have an interest to buy the tractor which is why I am seeking a fair price. The tractor engine has been sheltered but the back tires and rear has been exposed to the elements. It is not rusted out but does have surface rust. Thanks again for our reply and I will post the pictures hopefully by early next week. Thanks again for your friendliness.
