Thanks for all the warm welcomes ya'll gave me. Tells me again that the people are at least half the fun in this hobby!

I was up in the hills logging yesterday, so I didn't have a chance to reply to most of the posts. At least the weather was fairly nice! (About the freezing point)

It occurred to me that I didn't really mention anything about myself. I live near Barrhead, Alberta, Canada, on a small farm. I got into tractor collecting and restoration about a year ago, at the age of 15. Started with Deere, but am diversifying into Ferguson, Case, and soon, IH. I did work experience at a local Case-IH dealership last spring, and earned a healthy respect for International.

Oh yes, a question: What is the parts availibility for the old IH's? Can I still get most parts through a Case-IH dealership?

Again, thank you!

P.S. To Robert: Glad to hear from another Albertan. I've been up in the Peace Country a time or two, but I don't think as far as Manning. Just back in November, I was up in Grande Prairie to pick up a truck from one of my uncles. Beautiful country.
And yes, I am working on finding a red one! :-) I have my eyes open for a good model M or a W-series. Plenty of jobs for a smooth, strong running tractor around here!
