1. Do it.
2. Bill of sale.
3. Real Ford/NH Manuals: Operator, Repair, Parts - - you need ALL THREE. Don't get IT manuals.
4. Don't penny pinch. The look in your father's eyes will make it worth every penny. And so will the feeling in your heart.
5. Keep quality of repairs up to snuff.
6. Do all work yourself, except machine shop and maybe painting.
7. Example to start you off. Cooling system is very important, see sample in 8 below.
8. Cooling system: new thermostat, new gasket, new upper hose, new lower hose, rebuild water pump, have radiator either rodded out or boiled out, straighten radiator fins, pressure test, leak test, no STOP LEAK products, water/antifreeze at 50/50 year round, change every year.
Good luck with your tractor.
Tom
