pblack has posted a ? about his problem finding a place for tractor restoration near Houston, TX; now if he lived near Houston, Minnesnowta...

Seems I recall folks posting about having a local FFA class project of their tractor. They may do engine work, other mechanicals and/or painting depending on their skill level. The teacher (I guess they call them instructors now) should have all work 'checked off' to see it is correct, regarding tolerances for rings/bearings, correct wiring, muffler bearings properly sized, etc. The owner makes a contribution to the FFA chapter and pays for all parts.

Another suggestion is if a local engine club/steam and gas club, whatever the term may be; would be interested/have the expertise/interest here would be something they may enjoy. Or, it may provide the club with a new member...namely YOU (whoever you may be) as a tractor/gas engine; old stuff hobbyist may be. Just my thoughts this morning from beautiful SW Wisc. 15 degrees with cloudy skies; a fresh three-four inch snowfall to clear...which means some Farmall seat time!!![/color:d591daa888]

Well, we got Kansnowas down here today, and I don't like it any more. Maybe that's the real reason I left Iowa. I remember the last day I actually lived in Iowa it was -35 degrees (not official, but the thermometer outside on the yardlight pole)... Jan. 12, 1961.
 
Speaking of snow in Minn, we picked up another foot yesterday. I blow it up on the bank in parking lot and it comes right back down. Lot is getting pretty narrow.
 
The suggestion of the FFA class doing it is a good one. The kids get practical experience that will help them thru out life. That in it self would be worth it to me, After all these kids need all the help they can get.
As for states getting renamed. I vote for Chicago and Illinois getting renamed to " Sh!tcago Idiotnois"
