Squatch is a good friend of mine and has helped greatly with the restoration of the Farmall H I am doing for suicide awareness. I do the best I can with the knowledge, tools, and abilities I have but he is in a league of his own. I will be doing a similar tally when the Suicide H is done, and I would have to bet that due to the special touches we put into it, it will top over $12k (and we didn't replace ALL bearings in the transmission, either). It really gives you a sense of appreciation for those who do this for a living (and a sense of wonder). I am getting to the point now where I want to do mechanical restorations on tractors, but leave the finish as original as possible. They are only original once, and spending $1k on quality automotive paint gets a little old when I still want to use them as they were intended on occasion.
I highly recommend checking out more of Squatch's videos. He is currently doing and early D-2 cat, and a experimental Minneapolis Moline. He also has an experimental MM 44 crawler that he has restored that has a very interesting story. I also have an extensive channel, but am not nearly as talented (or gifted with tools) as he. Very good guy, and "Squatch Sr." is also very thorough and great at explaining things when he makes an appearance. A great father-son team.
Not to hijack a thread, but if anyone is curious, here is a link to my channel as well.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
