Moving and other busyness has prevented me from paying much attention to the model A for a few years but I rectified that over the weekend. Had to remove and clean the carburetor and clean the points. Not a trailer queen, the tractor has plowed in 5 states and run threshers in 4. We plowed 20 acres or so at my place for years. Still look'en decent after 18 years I think? After Allen took i for a spin we parked it in the front yard and watched cars slow down, we entertain easily, LOL [TUBE]fFvDRp-E57c[/TUBE]   |

That is a nice lookin tractor yet... Like Allisrutledge says that restoration paint has certainly held up well. Very good job and 18 years of proof.  Someday... I hope the A pieces I have will come together and sound & look that good. ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not.

Ya the shed is climate control, whatever the climate is outside is what the shed is inside, exempt for rain. Been lousy dirty and covered with dust more than once. Paint has never seen wax, just a coat of hand finishing compound now and then, PPG Delstar was some good stuff |
