Ya,it's just getting real hard to find them in what you might call a "moderate" condition. They're either restored or rusted right in to the ground. There've only been two new tractors here on the farm. A new Oliver Hart Parr 70 in 1937 and a 4040 Deere in 81. Most everything else was a 10-15 year old trade in that had reasonable care. That's what I remember a "new" tractor being. A lot of tractors of that vintage were original and being used when I hauled milk too,so that's what I have the most memories of. If they needed paint when a dealer got them,they usually didn't end up being painted original. The Olivers ended up with white wheels and grills,the John Deere A's and 60's and what not got a yellow stripe painted on the side of the hood,some of the Farmalls ended up with some ivory paint somewhere,the red and gray Fords wound up blue. To me,a nice used one just has more emotional appeal. I made the mistake of painting a half way decent Oliver 1550. It's nice,but it's not original anymore. I've got an original 1600 and an 1850 with the original dealer decals,and those two won't ever see any new paint as long as I own them.

In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
