School went well, and i was informed that when i signed up for ag class, i automaticially joined FFA. This would mean that i need some sort of a project which will count for a percentage of my grade in that class, and although they reccomended a few things, but i am never buying another chicken as long as i live, and if sheep are bad i cant even imagine goats. So i asked about restoring a tractor and was told i could do that for my project.
So heres my dilema-the B is mostally done, pretty much just needs bearings, put back together, and paint, and my brush job would de-qualify it as a project.
The C is almost back together. Too good for project as is, but mabey i could park it in the tall grass and let the air out of the tires and see if the teacher will buy that. I doubt it.
This would leave the WC. It needs new rims, and all 4 tires are shot. I dont want to know what 13-24 rears are, and that thing certianly isnt getting new tires. Where could i find some used ones??? Even getting them here would be a problem.
The rims would need alot of repair work at the very least. Mabey i could get someone with good, solid newer style wheels to trade for my shotty spoke rims?? Mabey i could find someone who really wants spokes on his tractor, but i doubt it.
I could
A) sell the WC. It was given to me and i just wouldnt feel right doing it.
B) Fix the WC. It'd cost alot for a tractor i dont nessicarally want, i could put that money towards an H, but i'd need more to restore and buy an H then this thing would take to fix up. And now that im in school work is pretty non-existant.
C) give the WC away. Id be concerned about dishonest people taking a few parts off it and scrapping it. If i did this, it would go through either this site not some shady local, except for someone like R Aikin, but since he allready has a WC and a UC i dont know if he'd want another. It would be nice to have, theres just other tractors i'd rather have.
D) store the WC. By the barn or in the pasture or something. Until i have an H (ive decided that will be my next tractor) and until i have money to burn on it.
E) Trade it for an H. Its not selling it, and it would get a loving home. I could get a tractor i really want to restore, and before i need to start this project thingy. Seems like my best option. The old owner told me he just wants a good home for it the tractor he remembers as a boy. Dont know anyone with an H looking for a WC though. I'd even pay something for his or her trouble.
So, yes, its long, and im sorry about that, but i know you guys know alot so mabey you could help me out here.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
