I'm changing my career slightly from full stack development to repairing and restoring old tractors and farming. I have a 1952 Case SC, a 1957 Fordson Major, and a 1946 Ford 2N in various conditions. I'm building a shop to work on them. Basically its an excuse to buy a sand blaster and paint room. Buy them for $500 and sell them for $3500 restored, pay for the tools and the next project tractor. Hopefully picking up a 1970 Ford 3600 this week. Old Diesels fascinate me.
- johnchristopher 11y agoWhat's your educational background ? (I have fantasies about doing that but I am concerned I'll just end up on a repair line in a factory instead of in a tractor shop).
- cmrdporcupine 11y agoIf you were here in Ontario I'd definitely buy one of your tractors.
- ndespres 11y agoI'm halfway through a similar transition to farming. It's funny how sometimes a new task can be an excuse to buy more tools. I'd be interested in reading more from you about your new work!
- Merad 11y agoOut of curiosity, how many hours of work typically goes into one of those restorations?
