I sure needed this when I started my 1st restoration about 2 months ago.
Slow is best....I go so slow that I have several unrelated projects. If I get hung up on one I go to another or if its raining, to hot to cold etc.
Do my best problem solving at night when I can't sleep. I'll visit here every day.

Hey Kim, Thanks for the new forum. I bet this one will be pretty active. Just in time for me as I plan to "spruce up" the Ollie and the AC this winter.
Thanks again!

Hey Kim! Thanks for the new forum! I can see this one getting plenty of traffic. I'll have to start posting from my "lessons learned" on my Farmall M restoration. -BTD

Nice forum. Clean white paint on the walls, no grafitti anywhere.

I guess it was nice while it lasted. Here goes.

RESTORATION - The best tip I can offer concerning this lengthy topic is to go S L O W and enjoy every step of the journey.

Why do something if it isn't fun? You HAVE to fix your car when it breaks but Old Iron?... let it be an enjoyable thing to do. If something is stuck - let it soak until tomorrow, or maybe the next day.

You'd be surprized at how many tough jobs get easy when you stop to think about it and let the PB soak in. You won't make as many mistakes either. When you're done, you'll have something to be proud of and you will have learned more about what you built than most.

....it's nice to have the right tools, too. I was facing the removal of a bolt in the front end of my Super M that looked like somebody torqued it off flush with the surface. I squirted PB on it about three times over a couple of weeks then when UPS delivered my first set of left handed drill bits, I went to work. I drilled a pilot hole then the second bit was abotu 3/8" in when the whole thing screwed out on the end of the bit. Now that's a rush..... ....!

Tyler, you're right. Huge amounts of patience are the key to a good restoration. Stuck parts don't stick overnight, and it's best not to try to unstick them in a hurry.

Getting started on my Farmall H and have never restored anything. I have gotten some ideas from the Tool Talk Discussion board, but think that this new addition will provide much more insight. Tinker and Tyler - thanks for the advice - its not to relevant right now, but i am sure remembering to have patience will come in handy real soon....

My Daddy used to say, "son, Rome werent built in a day!! and no matter how bleak the job, sleep on it and you will have a different view tomorrow! and all these years later it's still good advice!
