Now Gene, you are talking about me!
I know very little about wrenchin' on motors, and don't have the tools or talent for all the work restoring old iron. I always tell people that I got very good at writing checks when I decided to have my H all prettied up.
I found our old "family H" in terrible condition and ended up with spending obscene amounts of money on it (North of $5000). I love that tractor dearly, am retired and I am careful with my money, but I grin like crazy every time I fire it up because I'm that kid again of so long ago.
I own a good fishing boat and have lots of fun while in it. But that boat never makes me get the shivers and increased heart beat like that tractor does...every time I climb aboard. I always tell wifey that when I die she won't get but a fraction of what that tractor cost me as I could not have picked a more common tractor to spend dollars on.
When I take it to plow days that baby purrs so nice it's like it's telling me she's happy to be working again. I love her pretty red dress and her long legs.
So, if I told people that I would sell it for $5000, would I be asking too much? Not on your life. But if I wanted to just buy any old H I'd offer what the scrap price is worth since it has no emotional attachment to me.
Many hours + many dollars - Priceless memories!
Now, Gene, you keep an eye on a BN or Cockshutt 30 for me; a good one.
Out of here, I gotta go to the shed and stand there and look at that tractor and dream. LA in WI

The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
