tractors are worse! Since it is a tool and it is fun! Plus they are normally more expensive too. Good on you Gainster. Not too much more calming in life then running a tractor on a field....
Now what did I get myself into?

True, I have my grandpa's 57 Case round nose 311 that he loved. The memory of him on that tractor is much better than the one of him dealing with cancer.
Thanks! I know where you are coming from!
UPDATE
I now have the last $58.00 worth of parts to get the G back together, With a little luck I hope to get it all back together saturday for the BIG suprise
The wife seems to think I need to paint it before giving it back

Well I did not pull off the saturday give back, Had a setback with the clutch being froze & still low compression on #1 cylinder. Gave up & had a few 
. A buddy said to pour some 2-stroke oil in the cylinder & let it set over night. It worked well enuff to free up the rings & give up about 50 cranking psi. Good thing my driveway is 2800' long because we used up most of it pulling the G behind my Ranger trying to break loose the clutch. 7:00pm last night we had it all come together & run/shift
Get home tonight & I need to pull the carb & check the float level again, Put the fenders & hood on & we are golden.
Cool little tractor imo.

I was a little too excited & just had to run the tractor down to the neighbor before the fresh paint.
He almost fell over when he came to the door in disbelief, He said that I had no idea how much he has been worring about those tractors & did not think anyone would ever do anything with them. It was the BEST medicine he he said he could have ever got! I was starting to feel bad because he was trying to give me food out of his freezer & grabbing cans off his shelf for my family. It truly was a great experiance & well worth the effort. The phone rang quite a bit last night with people saying thanks, I think the ol guy called everyone he knows to tell them about his tractors

That is awesome!!! Great work!
Thanks a bunch guys! When Leo was making his phone calls last night he called my mother-inlaw where my 5 year old daughter was spending the night. She said to him on the phone "Uncle Leo we have your tractor & got it running for you" (he's not her uncle but she loves him like one)
Leo called us last night & said to keep the little Allis in our barn for him

DO IT! The work involved will make for a very happy family!
