Farmall H

As found in the shed in Motueka

The trailer was just long enough!!

This is where the restoration starts!!

This was a boat tractor and has spent some time in the salt water. 

When it was purchased what were the key points?

  •   It went!

  •  The tin work was straight.

  •   It was complete.

  •  The tires had air in them.

The most difficult part will be dealing with the rear tires

and the foot plate area where rust is taking over. 

The next stages will be to slowly but surely starting from the front

and work towards the back, cleaning and fixing were necessary. 

Repaint and reassemble.

 


Some work done as at January 2005.
