[AT] tractor restoration lessons wanted

[charlie hill]

Harold,  welcome aboard.  Around here the community college runs basic 
courses in Auto Body Repair and Minor Auto Repair.  If you have those 
available that would be a good place to learn some of  the required skills. 
Once you have a few skills and a few tools the rest is not so hard.  We'll 
be glad to help with specific questions and there are lots of other Internet 
forums available as well.

Do you have a particular brand and/or model picked out to restore?

Charlie
