A little background information for those that might not know me: Grew up on the farm in ND, love old tractors - have several, moved to AZ after graduating college and getting married for jobs. Love our jobs, nice weather, good pay, etc. After three years we are settled and pretty much out of debt so I can get down to some projects. I have somewhat decided that I would like to restore my Farmall A to its former glory. Been toying with the idea of a hot rod, older car or truck, maybe my IH L-120, etc. I think the A will be easy to fit in the garage and will be enjoyable when its done. The A was running good and I used it for several years to mow with until I ended up dropping one of the front wheels in a hole and breaking the steering box casting... we fixed that and I continued using it for a short time after, until it started burning a fair amount of oil and the oil pressure started dropping. Currently it has been sitting in the back of the barn for about four years, last had it running about a year ago. It isn't stuck but wouldn't start when I was home in April. I don't think it was getting any fuel. Shouldn't be any trouble to get it fired up again. Main obstacle right now is getting it from ND to AZ without breaking the budget for the restoration! Once I get home the end of June I will post on the hauling board to see if I can find anything... or I will try to find a reasonably priced pickup to haul it down and then sell the pickup. Tell me it's worth the time, effort, and cash! (I know deep down that it is, just like to hear it from others!) Just looking for some discussion and stories of restorations. Current resting place:

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
