Farmall H

Farmall H, running but a work in progress

This is where the restoration starts!!
This farmall H 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.

I started collecting vintage machinery in the late 1990's. It took a while to refine what I collected. Now it is anything International Harvester. No I dont have a farm, I live in suburbia in Nelson, New Zealand.
