@@harphamsrestorations7404 That’s very kind of you. I wish I had shown you how to loosen the way tubes from the bottom of the base casting!

Is that a Farmall F20 in the background?

[@harphamsrestorations7404]

Sorry no, it is a John Deere 60. Although there are 2 Scouts and 8 IHC pickups in various stages of restoration in the building.
