Hi Dan:
With regards to restoring the tractor, you finding a problem getting parts?
This is really John Deere territory here as they have three dealerships within an hour of each other.
Used to be a lot of Massey's and Fords.
I have a John Deer 4140 all wheel and a John Deer 2130. Good Tractors.
I have a wood oil combination furnace with two fireplaces and two woodstoves in the house.
I go through about one tank of oil a year because we rarely go to far in the winter...burn wood the rest of the time.
My one woodstove the grates can be adjusted to burn coal and I have about two tons in the cellar. I used to use wood during the day and coal at night but now I have about three years of wood cut so I figure the oil and coal is money in the bank.
As for the corn liquor your gonna have to wait until July as the silo is still three quarters full.

LOL
Gosh that stuff will make you take back stuff you never even stole!!!

LOL
Good luck on your restoration and will chat real soon.
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
