Around this past December, I finally started dismantling my 1948 Farmall H. Hood, grille, head, manifold, radiator, and some other stuff are all off now. Still need to split tractor to remove the engine block. She is getting a complete rebuild, polished/turned crank, valves, pistons and sleeves, etc. Just picked up some distributor parts from Dwayne at Rustic Red Acres today so I can complete the overhaul of that component. As I pull stuff off, I am going through it and replacing anything that needs it, sand blasting, painting, and re-assembling. Finished parts go back on the shelf till I start putting the tractor together.
Already the project is beginning to look pretty daunting. Told Dwayne today that I probably screwed up and started on the wrong tractor. Should have tore into my 1929 Farmall Regular first. Engine is already out on it, and there ain't as many parts to begin with.
My 1949 Ford F-2 with flathead V8 is an ongoing project. Drug it out of the weeds on June 9, 2012, and spent that entire summer getting it road-worthy again. Drive it back and forth to work now. Mechanically it is great, but the body, which is the most expensive part to restore, looks like hell.
