Some of you folks may have been following what I have been trying to do. Which is trying to save/rescue some of the old tractors that have been bought to be sold for scrap metal. I resently bought a 300 LP, and drove it to my place. I was called last night about a Farmall M with a WFE. My wife and I went to look at it this evening, but it turned out to be, what I believe, a SMTA on LP. The serial tag was not readable, and all the sheet metal had surafce rust so I could not make out any model letter. But it has a TA, IPTO, remote control hydraulics, home made front end loader and a heavy duty wide front end (in excellent tight condition). I believe it to be an original Farmnall IH type. The motor is stuck, but I was able to buy it anyway. He also had picked up 2- Farmall H's, so I made a deal with him to buy all three and he is going to deliver them to my place. I have had a lot of contact from folks, and even though I really did not want to become a part time old tractor used parts guy, it seems folks are more interested in parts, than whole tractors. So I guess I will part out some, especially ones with stuck motors. It sure is starting to take a LOT of time and money, but I really believe it is important to get them away from the scap metal dealers, so I will do what I can for a while, and see what happens. And yeah, I am "FOR REAL"

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
