Here is the before and after picture of the Farmall nameplate. It took me 2 tedious hours to carefully straighten it out and then 30 minutes to paint it. Ah a Farmall Picasso!

MANY THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING FOLKS FOR BOTH PARTS AND ADVICE!!

Kim Pratt at Yesterday's Tractors Magazine from the deep woods of Washington State, for manuals, using the Wanting To Buy frequently on Classifieds, and putting up with my clowning on Tales. A GREAT SITE!!

Dennis and Mojo Hochstetler of Southern Indiana for initial work to get the H ready for shipment.

Ken Updike of Carter & Gruenewald in Minnesota for lots of IH parts and lots of advice. (608-455-2411) His knowledge and involvement in reproduction guages and wiring harnesses is fantastic. I'm thinking of giving him a Deere for a gift.

Gary Biewer of Biewer's Tractor Salvage in Barnesville, Minnesota for many great conditioned used Farmall H parts. (218-937-5627)(email baa@means.net)

Ron Jacobson of southern Nebraska for the great sleeve puller and advice when I had trouble getting #3 sleeve out. (email farmerron@navix.net)(308-876-2337)

John at Restoration Supply in Massachusets for the rebuild kit and associated parts and advice.

Darrell at NAPA in Brownsburg, Indiana for outstanding head work. Also the NAPA guys behind the desk for all their help on NAPA parts. By the way, they aren't cheap but quite convenient.

My buddy retired mechanic, Bob Lamb, from near Rockville, Indiana, who hauled the tractor and gave advice from his near 50 years of experience. He didn't even charge me for the advice!

Steve Allen from Peculiar, Missouri, for the lights. (email allen454@netscape.net)

Charles Crabtree from Murfreesboro, Tenn. for the really nice PTO shield.

Thrifty Supply in Brownsburg, Indiana for lots of spray paint and general hardware.

From all my Yesterday's Tractor Farmall and Tales friends that gave great and OTHER advice. Probably more of the OTHER than the great from the Tales Group!

I found the problem with the governor. The ball bearing assembly on the thruster was shot. A whopping $65 to replace!

Getting close to done now. I have to rebuild the carburator and fix a couple of minor leaks. I will get new tires after I financially get back on my feet. I have $3,000 in parts so far.

The picture is not very sharp but the oil pressure gauge is around 55 PSI and the water temp gauge is about 150 degrees. I am pleased with the oil pump pressure considering I did not work on the pump.

Here is Corey helping me raise the liftall. I did such a good job that I get to lower it again. I didn't get the pump hooked up correctly to the reseivoir. At least is doesn't leak now.
