ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #1 Posted May 4, 2021 A good friend of mine recently lost his brother to Alzheimer’s, and is now facing the task of cleaning up his brothers place and going through everything. He asked me to help him with the cleanup, as he is 77 years old and is overwhelmed with the task. I thought he was kidding when he told me about the mess, until I went with him Sunday afternoon to look it over. 11 acres overgrown with brush and packed full of old cars and farm equipment. He had agreed to give me some of the stuff in exchange for my help, so far I have acquired the little English Ford, a VW Beetle, a Ferguson tractor with loader, and an International 966 tractor, with probably more to come 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know from experience that that is a huge chore(been working on gettng a house clear and estate settled for a little ol lady for 2 years now). I benefited from some stuff in the process, but the labor was way more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that merc has a 300 diesel engine that would be the 2JZ of the diesels Edited May 4, 2021 by Maxwell-8 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give our condolences to your friend and bless you for helping him out. If I had that Anglia, I would be looking around for a Chevy 327 and suitable trans / rear end, and do a full out 'resto mod' on it. I helped wrench on a 'rat rod' conversion of same back in the 70s and that was a fun project. My friend never finished it completely and sold it, but let me tell you, it was FAST!!!!!!! The 283/327 was a good fit in the engine bay. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
