Newbie saying hello

[Tony H]

Good day folks.
I recently purchased my first tractor,. I've been in teh wings reading many forums to learn from.

This forum is more agricultural Based where my tractor is a hybrid Built more like a construction Backhoe with the capability of taking off the Hoe and leaving me with a Cat 1 Hitch and PTO.
I'll be asking many questions that might be obvious to old time owners. Bare with me please

I just went through your entire Restore of the MF... Nice job. You certainly get to know a tool when you bring it back to life as you have.
BTW, reading that thread kept me from Working for about 2 hours. Thanks : )

Thanks for the flowers Tony. If was going to only be just a freshen up.. The more I did, the more I found I wanted to fix. The 4 cylinder Continental gas engine purrs like a kitten and the clutch and hydraulics are solid, so I saw no problems there. Only cosmetic. It looks 100 times better than before. There are a few good projects to follow. MasseyWV has the same gas tractor and he's doing a nut bolt restore. I few others doing engine rebuilds both gas and diesel. Hydro pumps to fuel injectors. If you own a vintage or classic tractor you get to know them up close and personal. Take care and again. Welcome aboard. -robert

"A freshen up" I have said that more than a few times.

I have a Jeep ( '75 CJ5) that I have had since 1980. When a lady T- boned me after running a Light, I was just going to Put a new Fiberglas body on 'my baby' New Fiber glas body, new 1 piece tilt up front nose ( like you mentioned you might do to the tractor) , bye bye Engine and trani and in goes a Chevy Crate Motor and Turbo 350 trani. by the time I 'Just Freshened it up' the only thing original was the steering wheel and Dashboard.

HAHA, sometimes we get creative and throw the service manual out the window. I bet that's one b!tchin ride now. Sometimes things happen for a reason, so I'm told. There is a lot of good knowledgable people here on TBN. Sometimes you have to sift thru the opinions to get useful info, but it's there. Take care Tony and enjoy the ride. Both yours and here on TBN. -robert
