Well the man brought it today, it was already on his trailer. Had a bit of trouble getting it off the trailer. The tires were frozen to the deck and the transmission must have water in it too, so I jacked it up and put some old roof tin under one wheel and a plywood scrap under the other. Had to jerk pretty hard even then with the Massey 35 to get it to budge, even with tire chains and calcium. Then once it was on the ground the only way I could move it the 50 feet to where I wanted it was to put the 3 point drawbar under the H drawbar and take some of the weight. Had to stop a few times to straighten the front wheels. Maybe tomorrow I'll start taking the wheels off to put on my H. One rim has some rust through around the valve stem, so it had calcium in it at some point, not sure now. The sheet metal is all beyond any use at all but I might be able to straighten the grill emblem out enough to put it on mine, which doesn't have one. I've never taken an engine apart before, so I'm looking forward to finding out what it all looks like in there. The gearshift has a cast iron knob, which I've heard was only used during the war. Serial 201378 makes it a 1945 model according to this site. Thanks for the advice. Zach
