Sam I know your frustration. I to started with mechanical things at an early age. I had my first hot rod camaro at 14. The one thing I have learned is to be patiant. Take your time and look at the problems. You have two with bad blocks and one theat needs parts. At fourteen projects that size seem a little overwelming, but take it one at a time. First save up what you need to buy the parts as you need them. If you have to you have three tractors. Talk to your local salvage and see if the will trade a parts tractor for one of the other two you are not working on. When you are done with one you will have something you will value and something you can say you did it all on. Its a hard lesson but one that will be with you forever. I think my father for that all the time. I now currently own a restored 65 cuda, a 70 chevy dually, a 71 ford f100, and a 70 dodge 4x4, and of course my current project a 46 Case VAC. There is nothing like the pride you will recieve when you are done. The fealing of ridding around on your own work. Sorry this was so long.
