Whenever you do a project where something is disassembled and reassembled keep you own notebook for writing things down.Even if you have the service manuals there are many things not covered in them and your notes will come in very handy later on.Record things like any non factory parts used,piston oversize,etc etc.Even things that may seem trivial at the time will be usefull later.This is good for ordering parts for a second rebuild also.In the back of the notebook keep receipts and names and addresses of suppliers.Print wiring diagrams etc off the web -keep in the notebook.List tasks to be done in the front of the book and put a checkmark when each is done.This increases job satisfaction also.Try to make some progress each day if only for a short time.Write to tool manufacturers for litterature and try to attent shows for ideas and to see correctly restored tractors.Bring a camera to shows for reference photos and file in notebook or glue to poster board in the shop.Most of all try to do things right so labor is not wasted and ultimatly have fun while you learn.Mechanics is the greatest hobby there is for fun and learning.The great and famous artist Von Dutch who was a master pinstriper and machinist/mechanic said there is no better feeling than firing up an engine that you have rebuilt yourself.Beer and weed will make you stupid and ruin your workmanship so avoid that and people who will drag you down with them.Have fun.Good luck.
