| Right out of my back yard DG! 40 miles further north and you would have been at my place. Good looking tractor, just like it was described to me. Congratulations! I have to wonder where that power unit was used around here. |

| I was able to travel to Ludington MI this weekend with the help of my Son Darrell Jr and bring this 1933 25-40 back to MN with and addition power unit for parts. I was able to do this as a result of the efforts of a real nice gentleman in Easton Mn as well as Sharon sending the pictures over the net. when restored it will have a gear drive generator and electric start. |

| Great looking project, well worth the effort, also scored some good looking tires too. Isn't it amazing the people you get to know dealing with these old tractors, most are just friends you haven't had the opportunity to meet yet. |

| 1933!! No that is a real charmer to me. I'll be curious to know how much engine work will be required. Transmission, clutch, & rear-end too. EVK |

| Of interest to me is the axle pivot pin with the eye for hitching. Our first A has an identical pin that sure looked like it had been with the tractor since day one. A-C experts have told me both ways, a factory part and that it was never offered by A-C. |

| That engine will not require a lot of work, just a good cleanup and a few new parts and away we go. Butch that front pin looks factory to me and will remain so until someone proves us wrong. |

| Darrell: There is a guy down in Oklahoma that does the babbitt work. It takes about 5 years to get it back. |

| ` Hello Brad Now that we have some COMPETITION I guess we'll have to put some serious thought into finishing our 30-60 the front rims were butchered, putting on new rims, the motor should be just about finished. Keep us informed we work better under pressure. |
