Ford tractor arrived in boxes and crates

 I started this restoration in 2023 and it came in boxes and crates. It was tore down by an older fellow who never got the chance to finish it. I included several pictures as I was doing it, and I learned a lot about this tractor as I rebuilt it. It threw me a curve ball when I could not understand what was in the trans bell housing but later found it to be a Sherman transmission (option on some). There was never a time when I ordered parts from Steiner Tractor Parts that they didn’t have everything, and never sent wrong part.

I am still improving it every year and show it in my local town of Hoosick Falls New York. The village has a tractor show every year called ‘Walter A Wood Tractor Show and Parade’ which is where the Walter A Wood Factory was that made horse drawn farm implements. My seat on the tractor shows one of the Implement seats.
