I really laugh at "all original" old tractors. No such thing! All of the ones sold to farmers or anyone else who used em have had at least one clutch job and an engine rebuild. Now how many of them old tight wad farmers ever passed up a chance to save a few bucks by using after market clutches and rebuild kits? Lot of older "fully restored" tractors where the OEM engine kits are NLA. Heck of a lot of em have TISCO kits in the engines. So much for the "rivet counters" (term used in model railroading for the guys who will actually count the rivets in a train car with a magnifying glass to be sure that the correct number are there for a year/model/make train car). Correct police in the old tractor/car world.
Don't get me wrong. A lot of those old restored tractors are works of love and I do admire those who do the work! But I'll never do that because some of your newer hardware is better than original. So why and the heck would I use substandard parts? I know a guy with an H. It looks amazing! Has a 5K paint job. But he drove that tractor home new from the dealership when he was 12. It's stored in a building.......with a trap over it inside the building! I don't blame him. That tractor has a lot of meaning to him!
Heck I've got an old M here. Runs the old NH baler and spreads cow poop! Other than it's ability to work it has no meaning to me. I payed 800 for it a few years ago. To me it's a tool, a hated tool! With the wide front it's clumsy! I long to replace it with something with a wide front and power steering! Maybe next week! I've got my eye on a 706D!
Now if I could find my dads R John Deer I'd restore that because my kids have great memories of riding that tractor with grandpa K. They would love to give thier kids rides on it.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
