Apparently a metal that machines nicely until it work hardens, then it’s in the recycling bin it goes.

Morning Gents!
Stan, one of my best friends is into restoring old tractors, he used to have a lot more and enter them in shows. Then he started having kids and he's slowed down a lot with it. Priorities and all of that.If you need anymore to go to a good home, I might have a guy for you.
These are just some of his, I always liked the old steel wheel one.
I know tractors are probably a dime a dozen for you guys but old tractors do something for this NYer
Then we've got a client, an off the boat Irishman and a classic immigrant success story. He grew up on a farm before he came here. He started working as a Glazier in NYC and then went off on his own, he grew his company to a very respectable operation and when he was comfortable enough he bought a hobby farm, he works it on weekends. He restored a few tractors too, although I don't remember, I don't think he did the restorations himself.

Nice collection of tractors Brian. I would love to start restoring more, but between my motorcycle and gun hobbies I best just leave it there. LOL
A chamber of commerce day here.
