Re: 1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration
So the weather was good enough to roll her out this afternoon and log some break in/debugging time. We dialed in low idle and got to run her through all the gears for the first time. No real surprises. A little vibration in 3rd...which makes the right brake lever contact the right fender. We'll probably stay out of 3rd
If you haven't figured it out yet, my little girl's name is Avery...which made this the logical first project. Of course she rode around the block with me today and a couple of minutes in asked, "Hey Dad, do you think anyone else in the neighborhood has a tractor?" "Probably not," I said.

Re: 1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration
That's great...what a coincidence the her name and the tractor are both Avery....

Re: 1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration
More of a practical consideration...couldn't fit a Kubota in the basement.

Re: 1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration
Brad,
Please tell your daughter that the two of you did an incredible job!!! I worked 13 years for John Deere in the Quad Cities and Waterloo. Combines and tractors. Does she know your mint restored Avery is worth around $100,000 ? More than a mint restored Blazer or Jimmy! Terry |

My last summer in college I worked at the John Deere dealership in Columbus, GA. I grew up watching my uncle farm with Generation II stuff and loved it. It's funny but my Eleanor is probably a '77 4230...not a truck or a car. The way they're going up though, by the time I've got enough space to have one I won't be able to afford it.
