To add to what Jim Becker and AG in IN stated I have recently restored a Farmall 240 (only 3600 were built) and am in the process of restoring an IH No. 11 2 point fast hitch side delivery hay rake (an unknown no. were built but very rare) and I have found parts in numerous manners for which there is absolutely no stock listed as available from any source. One example, in the parts catalog for the No. 11 hay rake the right side stripper is listed by part no. for the stripper, angle brace and the mounting hardware. Other then the hardware items the other two are not listed as available anywhere. I found through reading through the operators manual for the No. 11 hay rake the right stripper was available at the Parts Depot if you knew the kit part number of the above noted components which was yet another part no. I believe I acquired the last remaining kit still available but was able to obtain them by finding the unique kit part no. There is no substitute for part numbers when searching the planet for special parts. Those part numbers can be found in several various places and I would suggest obtaining all the printed IHC literature for any given IHC item you are thinking of or in the process of restoring. For my No. 11 restoration project I have acquired enough unique information relative to that hay rake to fill a 2" note book with the various items I have found that IH printed and provided their dealerships for sale and support functions. My No. 11 hay rake has been an eight year adventure in finding parts for a correct and proper restoration. Through various avenues I have been able to obtain almost everything needed for this restoration. I still have one open issue I am still trying to resolve which so far has eluded all the very knowledgeable folks in the IH world plus the IH archieves at the Wisconsin Historical Society which is a decal on the left fast hitch prong next to front support which is lowered for front end support when un-hooked from the tractor. On the Farmall 240 I found numerous items still in dealer inventories across this country by just putting the part no. in a Goggle search. Also, finding a CaseIH dealership that has a passion for helping antique tractor restoration folks in their quest for parts who has access to the CaseIH dealership wide inventories pays big dividends in finding some rare and stuff in the back of the parts bins which is still being carried in a dealers inventory. Obviously to have these systems work for you a correct or superseded part number is a must, Hal.

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
