Awesome advice, Tractor Vet, thanks for the guidance. Sounds like a lot of work, but would you do it again?
I don't envision ever using it in pulling contests, and revving the engine wil unlikely ever be under a load. More likely just to make noise and thrill the spectators during a parade.
As for me, I've had to ask myself why I want to take on a project like this, why do I want to do this. I guess the first answer is the challenge of how to do something this complex. I want something that will keep me busy and keep my mind working on solving problems. That really is the point of the project. I know it isn't easy, but I'm retired, need to keep busy. I grew up on a farm, had an old H that I loved working with. Now I have a bunch of tools I've been hauling from hither to yon for a lot of years. So, work on tractors.
When it's finished, it'll be a trailer queen. I won't be using it for farming. I live on an acre lot. I'll put it in the Show and Shines and parades in the area.
