Thanks - the seller was in a hurry to move to Florida, so my original 
investment was not much, and the fact that the Ford had both a Sherman 
auxiliary transmission and a Howard two speed rear made restoring the 
tractor an interesting project. I was making good money at the time, so 
I didn't mind the expense. The tires and the engine pistons/liners kit 
were the most expensive parts, but the little pieces added up also. One 
of the advantages of the old Ford N's is that you can literally build a 
complete tractor from all the new and rebuilt parts available. In fact, 
a company called N-Complete sells "remanufactured" Ford N's that are 
essentially brand new tractors. The Ferguson doesn't quite reach that 
kind of situation. I understand that some parts for the Continental 
engines can be problematic.

Yes, it is working, but there hasn't been much traffic lately. I usually 
send my little "Lancaster Farming" listing to it once a week, so you 
should at least receive that. If you aren't receiving even that, you 
might want to check your ATIS profile.
