I added a 36' X 28' extension onto an earlier 28' X 60' enclosed building used for tractor and implement storage. The new extension being well insulted is heated and air conditioned so it is useable year around. I put in an explosion proof vent fan unit from Grainger for paint and flammable fume extraction to the outside. I used several individual metal storage shelf units from Lowe's with extra shelves along one wall for shop storage of supplies and parts along with my moveable tool storage chests. I have a good solid heavy steel worktable which can be moved around along with another smaller lighter weight table for laying tools out being used along with light assembly work. Both of these can be moved to the vicinity of the tractor being worked on. I also have an abundance of lighting and an air compressor for painting and air tools in the area. I have the other heavier floor and bench mounted tools in the larger building and use this extension building when repairing or restoration activities and for heated tractor storage during the winter. I have restored both a Super C and Farmall 240 in the new building now and found it very useable. I think you will find an engine hoist and good adjustable splitting stands suitable for the smaller size tractors you noted as adequate for your needs. Of course you will need some jacks, cribbing and adjustable stands as well for supporting and lifting various tractor components. An engine stand will be helpful if you do your own engine rebuilding. Now for what is missing in my work area - a sink, bathroom and running water. Everything else including a refrigerator is available in the work area or the larger attached building. I can literally disappear to the building for the day except for potty breaks which require a trip to the house a hundred yards away. HTH, Hal.

Today's Featured Article - Fabrication (Who Me? Make it myself?) - by Chris Pratt. First of all, what are the reasons for not fabricatin your own parts? Most judgements on what should be purchased rather than fabricated stem from: Originality - If the tractor restoration is to be 100% original, it is likely that you should spend the time and money to locate the component in the used or New-old-stock market.
