Good afternoon all,
Well, I got a chance to sit down with my uncle today - first time in about 7 years. Caught up on a lot of things, he showed me many of his projects, and it was good to see him. Probably going to try to get up sometime throughout the winter to get some ice fishing in. He did, however, deliver some heart wrenching news. My grandfather's 1940 M (with a Farmhand "Standard" loader) that my uncle had is no longer in the family. My uncle (Norm) GAVE the tractor away to a friend of his, named "Olie". This friend happens to restore Internationals, and he thought it would be going to a good home. He had no idea that I was still into tractors. So now the hunt is on. Apparently, this gentleman has since restored the tractor and drives it in local shows (near the Alexandria, MN area) Maybe the Dalton, MN Threshing Show/Parade?
Let me clarify, if this gentleman visits the forum, or if members know of him, I'm not trying to solicit a way to purchase the tractor - at least not at this point in my life. I don't have the room (too many others in my garage). BUT, with that said, I would like to at least keep in contact with this person so that should he decide to sell, that I may have the opportunity to purchase grandpa's tractor and reunite it with the Case that I have that was also grandpa's. Any leads are much appreciated! And yes, I'll keep working on my uncle to maybe get a little information exchanged as well. I have enclosed a photo of the tractor - it was in pretty poor shape.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
