Lot of good replies to your post. Some I agree with, some I don't. Don't be discouraged. There are many tractors around in my area that guys and ladies say they'll get fixed up but never do. They rot away and it breaks everyone's heart.
There are plenty of people around complaining about the local youngsters not being interested in farming. Completely untrue. The youngsters are there. One party is either not listening or the other party is not loud enough. It's a lethal combination of both usually.
Got plenty of old tractors around. We farm and truck too much to get any real work done on them anymore but whenever Grandpa and Uncle are wanting something new to work on we oblige another project.

Needs the head worked and other minor things. Uncle's 16 year old step son is showing interest. Thinks about being a mechanic. Tractor might just be given to him if he's serious about giving it attention. G-Grandfathers best friend would be pleased. Loved helping young guys out.
You can't save them all. It's a shame. Save the ones you can.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows!
