If I wanted to have a nut and bolt restoration....

[Tractorstant]

bit of a flight of fancy but....... I would really like to buy and have fully restored all the old tractors from the farm where I used to work years ago. My question is, I wouldn't have a clue where to start, are there companies that you can employ to do this? 1st one being a Ford 5610 2wd.

Tratorstant.

If you have very deep pockets.

See previous post related to the £30k + JD 3040 that was on ebay.....

thats the difference between changing stuff for the sake of it....and changing it because its worn and needs replacing

Expect to spend double what is worth when getting somebody to restore it.

Thought the satisfaction of restoring something was to do it yourself, taking stuff to pieces is the best way learn.

I did my International B250 up a few years ago, I had driven it from new in 1956, it got parked in a tin shed twenty years ago and the shed rotted and roof blew off. Water down the exhaust pipe, an stood another few years rotting away.
I firked it out and put new pistons and liners cleaned and painted it up, and now runs well

Engine done up, wheels painted and new rear wings

And here fully restored, well worth doing.

Yes It looks like a B250 it will have two track rods one down each side like the old Fergy's. The B 275, the next one in that stable had only one track rod down the left side and a rod parallel to front axle to link both from wheels

Unless it's a rare model.

I did do an E27N up a few years ago, bought it as a running wreck, because I remembered the one we drove in the 1940's, just have to remember it is a RIGHT foot clutch.
It had done very little work over its lifetime being on a turf cutter from new, it has a high/low splitter gearbox it 1946 model with the old standard Fordson manifold and exhaust.
It pulls well (for a E27N I never had to do anything at its engine, the worst thing was cleaning it off, I do not imagine it had ever been cleaned in its life.
In this first picture we had to almost chisel the depth of dried on mud and built up dust, see the bell housing and gear box, fitted new rear tyres and mud wings

Wish I had the time/space/tools let I'd love too. However I'd like to get it done.
