I have 6 tractors that I tinker with. 1940, 43, 44 Farmall H's, 1950 JD A, 1950 Case VAI, and a 1951 Farmall Cub. The Cub was purchased in 96 for a mowing tractor for our 7 acres. The JD A was purchased as a project in 2011 and took almost 8 years to get running. The 40, 43 H's and VAI were my dads. The 44 H purchased in 18 was originally going to be a parts tractor but I decided to fix it. It took about 2 years to get running. The cub still gets used mowing but mainly road side and pond banks with the sickle mower. It needs an engine rebuild, it is a tired tractor. The 43 H has a 3 point and I mow with a 5' rotary cutter. The 44 H mows with a 5" pull type rotary cutter. The VAI, JD A, and 40 H are taken to local shows and driven to town once in a while. I have more money in all of them than they are worth. As to the cost, I kept track of what I spent on the JD A while rebuilding it and will never track one again. It makes you wonder if your sane. These tractors are my hobby and I will keep them running.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
