Hey, I know what you're talking about. My father bought a Farmall B that was in "restored condition" a couple of years ago from a local in the area. It had a quick shot of paint and that was about it. The generator wasn't even installed on it when he finally delivered it. It will need brakes, clutch, and a few bearings to name a few things. The man almost ruined the rear wheels on it because he towed it to the farm with them loose. Had to use the multi-purpose fire wrench in order to remove the too small bolts and nuts in order to put the correct ones on it. I have known that man for over twenty years and always thought that he was better than that. This is one of the reasons I hope to get into the repair, restoration, and buying and selling of these vintage pieces of American History. Not only do I enjoy them, I also think that people should get what they pay for when they buy something. later days mate, Jim
