    New yesterdaystractors.com website coming in July!

    The ability to "SAVE" items to a shopping list makes it easy to return and review without starting over by looking part up. Members should welcome it and sales would likely increase as well.

    Reshaping a hood

    I believe I speak for many when I say if not for the challenges, I wouldn't own all these old tractors. I know old boys that will be happy to knock 5 strokes off your game if you give them your tee-time and pay greens fee.

    You must give it time. Sam once sold Wily a smart pill for a nickel. Following day Wily claimed he didn't feel any smarter and Sam said depending on how dumb one is to start with it can require more pills. Wily bought another and this went on for several days. One day Wily said " the more...

    Reshaping a hood

    It sounds straightforward but it required a real artist to straighten car bodies manufactured during same period as your tractor. Research "hammer and dolly" under auto body repair. You'll notice that instead of beating on dent, you push on dent with dolly while hitting crease where dent...

    Couple of Cheap tools I like...FWIW

    I might have bought that pruner had I known about it when I began struggling with my manual pole pruner. I added a pulley at lower tip of pole and wrapped new foam grip tape higher on pole. To use it now I'm gripping higher on pole so that new pulley is below knee height and I'm pulling UP...
