I couldn"t have done it without this board, reading every post (twice), searching archives, asking many stupid questions, and doing several jobs multiple times! The end result is something I am very proud of and hope stays in my family after I"m gone. Special thanks to Steve Bieberich who helped in many ways and first got me interested in Ferguson tractors at a Fena show in Oklahoma. Along the way I bought a parts tractor for the block, carb, and starter. I don"t need it any longer and want to keep it away from the scrappers. I"d like to help others finish their project the way you"all have helped me. I"m not interested in shipping parts all over but I promise you if you contact me you"ll be pleased with waterever agreement we come up with. I"m not looking to get rich off anyone, nor spend my free time wrenching in the Texas sun. But if you are in North Texas and need parts for your project - let"s talk! [Reply]   [No Email]
