I turned 59 last week & have always had a love for tractors since growing up on a farm in the 50's & 60's. Went off to college 'cause Dad didn't have enough land to support two famlies. Taught school for a few years & now in the professional planning field, so don't farm. Bought an SC Case in the early 80's as my Brother-In-Law was looking for one for parts, but it was too good to part out. (My B-I-L farms w/old Cases-he's been a Case man all his life. I keep my tractors @ his place.) When Dad sold out in '86, my Brother (who doesn't farm either) & I bought the 2 H's that we grew up on. Since then, I've acquired another 2 H's (one is parts only), 2 more SC Case's, an IH Super C, a couple of loaders (one is for Super C) 1/2 of a DC Case, 1/2 of a VC Case (NOT a VAC) & some odds & ends of machinery to fit the above along w/a parts VC. Although B-I-L is a Case man, he's bought an H & SM in the past several years. He owns the other half of the VC & DC w/me. Between the 2 of us, we've got over 20 built before 1956. Old tractor fever is catching, as both my & his #1 sons have caught it too. Brother gave #1 son Dad's H that he originally purchased new so my GS could have it someday-he's only 3 but loves 'em already. (Then son bought an F-12 to work on, as H is in good condition.) My #2 & 3 sons are interested in what we are doing, but don't have the space for anything yet. BTW, thanks to Kim & all for such a great board! (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
