The Tuul Crib 7,338 #1 Posted November 8, 2020 So I'm just wanting to know. After a years worth of work that comes to an end..... or does it?l all the satisfaction of each little piece that you most carefully make it work and look top-notch as well, do you feel empty? Are there withdrawal symptoms? how soon do I start another project? Do l need help? 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stepney 2,325 #3 Posted November 8, 2020 I spent 3 years restoring a gas fired Maytag washer.. I was perhaps a little too meticulous with it. But the looks on peoples faces is enough to make up for all the trouble. besides.. once it's restored, you gotta run it, keep it nice, sort out the little things... its never over. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,165 #4 Posted November 8, 2020 For every one tractor you finish you should have 3 lined up after that. My problem always 3/4 finishing one I was jumping into the next one I guess thats why there is 20 or so in the collection 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When ever I see anything over here, people seem to want silly money. I've not really any room for more, but if a reasonably priced auto with a loader bucket should appear, I think I could squeeze in another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it's time to get back to my back porch and putting the roof on it! It seems a little charger got in the way of getting it done but that's OK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
