  It's rather humbling when you consider the fact that in all likelihood, most, if not all of the human hands that had any part in that machines' creation are now gone. Some of them long gone, I'm sure. And yet, this machine, their creation, gets to live and breathe once again. Thanks for saving it. I understand the affinity for old iron.

  Hi Mat,<br>When we lived in the Hartford area of Connecticut, our adjoining neighbor was George, the Farmer. &nbsp;George had a Ford tractor that was in constant use. &nbsp;Another neighbor, rebuilt a Ford tractor, and gave George a hand when he had mechanical problems.<br>One day the Hobby Ford tractor neighbor came to George and asked him to participate in a Tractor Meet in Eastern Connecticut. &nbsp;<br>At the meet, the tractors were all lined up, and George in his usual overalls answered questions about his well used tractor.<br>On man asked George how he got the steel tractor seat so highly polished and shiny. &nbsp;<br>George, who never said much, looked at the man and said, &quot;you put your ass in the seat when the sun goes up, and it stays there till the sun goes down.<br>If you do that for 40 years, your tractor seat will become shiny too!&quot;

  I started driving my grandfathers 8N Ford when i was 8, six years later he decided to completely restore it and I was blessed to help with the bodywork, paint, rebuild ,and convert to 12 volt. I spent the next 20 years doing everything on our 200 acre cattle and sheep ranch with that reliable old gal. including teaching my son to drive that tractor. When my grandfather died we had to sell the ranch and tractor, but I moved back to the area 15 years later and I visited the new owner and the old girl still looked and ran great. Its now been 58 years since I first saw her and she still works like a champ, this video brought a flood of emotion, thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU.

  Dan and Rachel Gingel have good tutorials for small tractor service and lots of parts available for the Fords.

  I really appreciate tha fact that somebody is rescuing these old clunkers, it&apos;s the sort of thing I would be doing if I had the youth and the facilities. Well done !
