I haven't ben able to use my main big door for a while at the shop, the overhead door spring broke & it took me about 3 weeks to find & get one, worked about 3 days & the peace it fits into let go & now it's ben on order till next week sometime? This is a real pain. Sir. Willam needed brakes & got them fixed monday. Also got my 1941 McCormick Deering LB engine 1 1/2 -2 1/2 HP all painted like new. Waiting to be able to take it out side to find out if I can get it running now. Allso got 2 more model TT truck frames & rear ends home. Haven't ben able to get a price on the WC Allice so it woun't be comeing along with the TT truck frames at this time anyway. Also got a power unit for a Model T car, I wounder if it will work with a model TT truck when I get it runing?? Hope so.

Yesterday had 6 new windows put in my house, all on the east side but one upstairs on the west side. Had the south & northside & one on the west done about 12 years ago. This just leaves one original beside the fire place & no real resion to change it as the back porch is over & behind it & my air condioner set's in it. & one tiny one about 6"wX12" H in my gun room up stairs.

Ok will give a little up date hear. 1. I bought the F20 Rye tractor for $800 Motor is stuck as well as the clutch. It is seting with a long pipe wired to the 8'rear wheel with a 200+ weight tied to the end of rhe pipe. also the rear right wheel is jacked up to put cunstant presure on the motor crank.
2. Geting my other F20 ready to paint and new rear tires.
3. Finaly this summer my CA. soninlaw got the rear wheel off the Model TT truck it took him 5 hours to do it but he got it done when I and others have failed to do so over the last two years or so.

Yes jack I do and to many for my retired buject dollars witch realy makes them long term. lol I am hopeing to get the farmall F20 that I'm painting done or close to it this fall yet. I was forced to put the F20 ahead of others when my brother asked for his rear steel wheels that I had this tractor siting on, it left this tractor siting out in my shop yard on blocks and I din't want it to stay that way for who knows how long so I decided I just had to buy new tires for it and as it was seting it was no better time to paint with tires off the rims and tractor. So it jumped ahead of the TT truck. And next spring I feel I must start on the 1918 Oil Pull in order to have it running by 2017-18 when it turns 100 years old.
