Additional Information
Lots of mechanical skills gained through many projects including a 750 hour 1941 McCormick Deering O-4 orchard tractor restoration project which included a complete engine rebuild, sheet metal repair and replacement with a proper paint job and a 1935 Farmall F-30 restoration, Ongoing restoration project mainly focusing on repairing engine and transmission back to factory standards. These projects have given me the skills to maintain and rebuild both diesel and gas engines, weld sheet metal and use grinding techniques to make it appear seamless.
