 I have been watching and reading this list for quite a few years now. There 
is always something interesting to read on here, maybe a bearing that won't 
come out, or someone looking for a better way to do something to their 
Farmall's. I enjoy this site very much, and have got some very good advice 
from members on here. I just want to say thanks to the members of the 
Farmall list, and may everyone's interest in old tractors keep going, so our 
kids can enjoy it also.
 Here is something (new) for my old shop. I just added a 20 foot x 56 foot 
addition on my existing garage last year, that is my new shop for my 
business. I have started a new "part time" new tractor parts business, and 
it is doing very good for us. I haven't advertised any yet, because I am 
working every day, and wouldn't be able to take care of a full time business 
yet, but we can order parts for most any make tractor. I have a fair amount 
of new parts for the Farmall tractors on stock, cause that is what I have 
myself to work on. I am in the process of setting up a website, it is up and 
running, but isn't finished yet. I don't think I'm allowed to advertise on 
this site about my business,  so I won't. I will email you information if 
your interested about my site off the list. Kevin Bish in PA.
