I got talking to some old geezer about cars and tractors. He's 98 years old and used to have his own repair shop. He was telling me about all the junker Ford Model Ts and As people dumped on him as payment, when they lacked cash back around WWII. He told me he buried all sheet metal just to get rid of it. Took some of the running-gears and either made farm-equipment, or parked out in one of his "wet fields."
Ended up he offered to sell me any Ford As or Ts that were still there at $75 each. I bought four and that was enough. Most had huge trees growing through the center of them. Ended up using my chain saw more then my cutting torches. This was all "walk in." I had to carry in, or wheel-in and out all tools and parts. The area had become a swamp full of huge white pine trees snd hawthorne thorn trees.
I took one photo with a bad cell-phone camera. Model A Ford with a white pine grown between the frame rails. My main interest was to retried the three-speed transmissions that are used in many small farm tractors.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
