Hello to all! New reader here, and a recent convert/victim to the restoration/collecting game! :-) I recently came into possession of an "H" and a "Super C" after my grandfather died. I don't have a clue as to what I'm really looking at to begin with. Both were used fairly regularly, though dwindling off rapidly in the past 10-15 years as he became less able to get around and for the past few years haven't done anything more than sit in the shed and gather dust. I have no idea how old they really area, so for starters, where do I look to find the SN#'s? Once I find these, I know that I can figure out their age. Is there a reference that I can get hold of that might be able to tell me if they are worth restoring? I know that both ran when he last used them, so I know there wasn't anything obvious wrong with them. Not being around all the time, I cannot vouch for what kind or how often maintenance was done. Oil, lube, etc. I know that the one has an electric short somewhere in the alternator/generator, as it won't keep a charge if left sit for a while. As long as you run it regualarly, it keeps a charge fine, so I know it's charging, but give it several days, and you'll have to put it on the charger. I think the tires are original on both, so I'm cringing at the thought of how much that'll cost. I don't know if I want to go to full restoration, or what, but after finding this list, I'm intrigued! :-) Hope to hear from someone soon! Jerry

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
