I am writing this for my son, he is 13 years old and very courious on some oppions that you guys can give to him about restoring older tractors versus older cars and trucks.. He has a 1958 ford 4 door that he has traded for now and my dad and I are gonna help him finish restoring.. Its about 80 percent restored at the moment and we are gonna finish to have for his first driver. But, He has the idea that restored old cars and trucks will make more profit than older classic tractors. I have told him that the time he puts in on a older car/truck that he could probably turn the same time out on 2-3 older tractors with out as much money out of pocket expences and just as much profit total. I have never restored a tractor my self, just fix them, work them as a bussiness so, that is why I wanted him to here it strait from you guys, You guys have forgotten more than I will probably ever know!! He is very tallented around anything with a engine, rather its a piece of equiptment or autos,.. I AM NOT JUST SAYING THIS because he is my son, he is already pulling motors and replacing them " with my help with the heavy stuff and a little advise ofcourse" and can figure out so much on his own.. He is just looking in the future as far as a career/hobby is conserned. In youre oppinion, is restoring tractor(s) worth considering over old cars/trucks as far as a future ... Shoot it to us striaght, neither of us are "thin skinned".. OR am I telling him wrong? His name is Justin if you want it dirrected to him personally. And you can remain "mr. no name" if it effects your bussiness!!! THANKS GUYS in advance!!! Larry

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
