What is your winter tractor project?

I am just now putting a canopy over my 1943 AC C and my 1940 Farmall B.
The C needs a drawbar, generator, fan belt and all new ignition wiring.
If I can't locate a reasonable C drawbar I do have a model B drawbar that I could cut and extend.

Hopefully get this back together, 3rd winter in the shop:

And work on getting an engine back in this and get it running, 2nd winter in the shop:

my goal is to make a tractor out of this again

PS that one above is not the tractor in the driveway Deb is wanting me to move........

This one is already in the shop, getting tore apart. (what is left of it anyways....)

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

Working on a `52 Massey Harris 44. The only off-color tractor in the stable. An old guy walked into my shop about 2 months ago, said he had an old tractor with a stuck engine. He owned it for 35 years and was giving it up on it. I asked "how much" hoping I could head for the door regardless of the amount. When he said it`s "free", you can have it, I went and got a chain and towed it a short distance to my shop, and have been working on it since. Feel like a "duck out of water" with this thing. He said he was going to call a scrap yard if no one wanted it. Turning into a money pit. Engine rebuild, brakes, wiring, starter, generator rebuild. Rim repairs from calcium chloride and that`s just what I`ve found so far. So far I have $1500 in a "free" tractor that`s worth maybe $2000.

Good luck with that, I have one that's finally back together and was more like $3000 and it still doesn't run right. Grrrr, if it was orange I would have had it done sooner with less aggrevation. Starts (finally) after fuel delivery problems, but the govenor doesn't work right yet and the hydrualics aren't working, I think it's air locked or sucking air.

This years projects are getting my series IV D17 overhauled and running and putting a narrow front under my bar grill D17 and starting body / paint work on it.

Here's my winter plus B project. I saved it from the scrapman. The mower is to be restored also.

Thank you, thats what I was hoping to hear.

I'm hoping to make one big piece out of all of these little ones...

I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me!

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?
