We call it "Crispy". It was a long row to hoe.

This is my second tractor but no pictures that can dig up when I got it. I have an Farmall F 20 that I should finish up this summer.

Wow looking at some of these there are real beautys out there,,also there are people that are out of their minds with what they will take on. I am just not quite that much of an adventure seeker. I fix a lot of stuff but I will leave this big stuff to you guys.
 
Well, I'm not a very good mechanic even
though I do try very hard.
This 3000 needed a few small things so I
went ahead and tried to restore it.
The first photo is how it looked when I
bought it.
The second photo is after I worked on it for
about a year. It didn't go too well.

1937 John Deere B and 1942 Farmall H. The H was bought new by my grandfather and was in the staging area getting ready to cross the Mackinac Bridge in 2015.

Sure are a lot of beautiful restorations here! I've only got one of my three done so far, but the other two are coming along. 1941 Case SC Center Exhaust, 1940 Farmall M (sold a few years back), 1941 John Deere A Slant Dash Unstyled (Home built, mechanically restored), the new project: 1947 Farmall M. And last is the 1950 Farmall C I had for a short while.

I dont have a before photo as it was nearly 30 years ago that I restored it, but here is my 1952 ZAU MM. Couple
years later I was able to find the proper seat and lights for it.

This is the tractor that I am working on now and hope to get it done this spring. Its a 1937 F-20 that I bought back in 1966 and restored it then and am now going through it again.

(quoted from post at 06:34:41 02/29/16) Y'all have seen this one...

JF I like that shade of industrial Ford yellow better than any that I have seen. Takes me back about 55 years.
 
My tractors are NOT restored, and I do not represent them as such. All I want is for them to run well enough and look good enough for what I use them for, which is an occasional parade and maybe a local show or two.

With that said, here are a couple of mine.

1942 long hood A.

Massey Harris 33.

Before (June 1997). Sorry they're horrible quality, I did something wrong scanning I think








After (May 2013)



It's still not done, I still don't have decals on it, or the hydraulics back on.. Was going to leave them off, but have decided now to install them.. I still use the tractor a little and it's not near as handy without hydraulics.
