   Greetings all.

	Long story short, while cleaning out storage garage of Father in Laws 
estate we found an Allis Chalmers 310.   I rescued it from the scrap pile everyone wanted it to go to.  But now I have a dilemma, been 
sitting a year in my shed and still not running!  Turns over, has spark, that is good.  gas in tank, thinking none at carb.  Shot a spritz of ether while cranking, not a burp or chug.  I fear work above my skill level is needed, betting it was sitting (covered) for at least 20 years.  One voice says run away fast, another voice
 in my head would like to see it functional again. No mower deck but has snowblower and rear blade.  Neither is mounted right now.

Questions  1)  Is it worth sticking $$ into?  2) Where / who would be willing to tackle this?  I'm willing to pay to have 
it done but want cost to be low enough so I do not end up sleeping in 
garage with it.  

	Would prefer anyone within a day trip of northern Wis. 

	Obviously I cannot get a quote from the pictures here, but anyone that 
has done anything similar?  What should I brace myself for?

Sorry for all the questions.

	Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or help in this quest.
