It Begins/Up Dated with Pictures

Postby Phillip W. Lenke » Wed Dec 17, 2008 6:44 am

1940 M
Now that the demo is up and running ,tucked in and awaiting warmer weather to finish sheet metal.
We have begun to tear down the M.
It will be a complete tear down ,eventually. Everything is heavy and takes more care , as to not injure the help,or burn them out, However I have a captive audience, (The boys are still at home) Good on DAD!
It sat for at least 3 yrs that I know of,could have been longer.
I plan to remove each part clean , replace seals ,prime and set off to the side.
To Date we have the carb rebuilt,Waterpump cleaned repacked painted, Governor rebuilt,mag ready,misc other parts painted and ready, only the big stuff left.
Marilyn Willer ,it is not my fault I have more than one tractor. You said, when Sheila and I visited for the first time, so it begins. Only one , right. :lol: Help me out here George.
Two of the four were not my fault. Sheila is to blame for the DEMO. The BN was My Parents and the M was a gift, Sure I could have turned them all down But. They needed a good home.
So in my mind I have only one that I can account for. :wink: The first one.

Enjoy I am

Phil,

Good luck with the restoration. If you continue to work outside, you might want to wait for global warming to get to Oak Harbor. :) :)

Phil - sounds typical to me. It starts with one - almost always. But personally, I don't think there's a better hobby in the world than antique tractors. Good luck with this project! :D

Phil, I'm in about the same with my Super C. All the parts are real similar to the cub, just heavier. LOL I'm having to leave the chasis out side too and that hurts....with all this rain we're getting.

Something happens to 50 plus year old cast iron. It seems to become magnetic and will start pulling other treasures home. My wife used to go with me to look at a tractor so that i wouldn't buy it. She has given that up. Last fall i was looking at an H and i brought home 3 pictures of it. She looked at the pictures, paused, and said "Hmm". That hesitation was all it took. I am not going to say that i will not purchase another tractor, but if i do, it will have to sit outside (shed is full).

Phil,
Looks like its going to be a qaulity restoration; some of those M parts have to weigh a TON. Best of luck and keep those photos coming, they are great to look at.

Take care,
Phil
