I'm a city guy (south Denver area) and am pondering whether or not to buy an older tractor and restore it. There seem to be a number of reasons not to, but also I like this site and am on it every day reading alot. 1) I have a 20' X 20' standard garage which is big enough as long as my wife doesn't plan on using it for about 3 years. 2) if and when i finish the project I wont have anywhere to keep it. 3) absolutely no practical experience restoring any kind of antique (car or otherwise) 4) Have no known mentor close by to guide me 5) some mechanic's tools but no specialty types 6) no idea which tractor would be the easiest for the first time ( not to upset anyone but I prefer JD) 7) don't know any good shops that do the engine overhaul work 8) I can tear anything apart but honestly am not sure if I can get it reassembled properly
soooo the question is; WHAT THE H-LL IS THE MATTER WITH ME !!! all opinions are welcomed here
