How I Fund My Tractor Hobby

Wondering how I finance this tractor hobby?


Meet my money.

Pretty, ain't she?  Once in a while I'll pick up vehicles and other scrap, haul it in on a day off, and voila. Seed money.  It works :)

The Day the Engine Came Out

The 44 Massey is now engineless. 

I cleaned out near 5 gallons of grease and mud and junk from inside the frame. 

 The clutch lining was badly worn down to the rivets, and greasy. Very greasy. 

I'll be looking for a used clutch lining.

These kingpin bushings were worn out.

Found some new bushings at the local Massey dealer, and pins from Princess Auto.

The rad is in good shape, and the tin is reasonable too. The screen is tattered, 

but I'll probably use it the way it is. I'm not restoring it, just making it workable.
