A lot has transpired since the last post about my restoration project. Hey Merried to Allis, here you go. As I said, I sold this tractor new, and it now has come back home. It has been one tough tractor, but it had to be hospitilized a few times in it's life. I need to sit down with the previous owner and reserch its history. The clock stopped working at 8658hrs. I'm betting it has 15,000 plus hrs on it. It had a engine block transplant some where along the way, and I'm not impressed with what was done at that time, although the engine ran well. As I said, I bought it back knowing that coolant was finding it's way to the crankcase. Turned out all 3 heads had BAD cracks in them. Fortunatly I had another older doner tractor with usable heads. We have them all cleaned up and will be takeing them to the machine shop on Monday for some minor machine work, plus the rods, to have new wrist pin bushings installed and fitted to the new piston pins.I rebuilt the PTO clutch pack today with some parts that I had squirreled away years back. I took the remote valve off this afternoon also, and will reseal the control shaft seals as they are known to leak over time, and check the relief valve pressure. I have the cab on a shop built dolly so I can easily move it around the shop. Monday I sent the cores to the seat out to Speer Cushion Co. in CO. for reupholstering, and they will be sending all new padding to redo the interior of the cab. the Cab has some rust issues along the bottom and I will be cutting out sections of rusty metal and mig welding in new sheet metal for repairs. I did some rattle can overhauling on some of the seat parts that hold the cushions and stripped, cleaned and primed all the cores. A week ago my son and I drove out to Geneva NY to pick up all the new engine parts,(Clevite 1/8" overbore sleeves and pistons and std bearings, plus Fel Pro gaskets and many other parts for the project. We on the Case forum are lucky to have a great dealer on the site to supply all of us Case enthusiests with Case parts at great prices. I'm not going to elaborate on the name so I don't upset our hostes. I removed the tranny cover today also, for a peak-see inside. Very plesantly supprised. I expected much more wear in a crash gear tranny than I saw. I'm now on the rebuild side of the restoration. More pic in the future as the project evolves. Loren

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
