A twofer night 👍😁 Somewhere, there's always someone who can make what you need.. when it was new, they had to make everything. Just money..lol. don't count your time involved, the total cost would scare you. Thank you for the update Dave!

The guys who specialize in this old stuff, (parts and labor) are disappearing and most are retirement age already. Not keeping score on my time and traveling 🤣 Thanks Ed

I snuck a hay trolley restoration in while I was working on the plow. Found a guy at swap meet that had sheaves for that Meyers that was in grainery. More junk saved !

And people wonder if I can find parts for a 1974 Oliver. They're out there, but you might just have to shave the extra metal off to make them the right size and shape. Keep up the good work.

It is nice that you can find shops that can do the specialized machine work and repairs. We used to have a fair amount of shops like that here, but as the logging industry dried up, so did the shops. Very hard to find any specialists anymore.

@@BIBSTERSrepairshop I was who you talked to at the AETA show, Dave and I have had a few chats on this project. Funny thing is, we actually almost bought this tractor two of the three times it was offered to us, and I keep being happier and happier it got away both times! The one we ended up with (Was at the show) was a heap, but the engine had a lot less issues.
