1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration
There is a BF Avery collectors' site and a Facebook page, but the collectors' page is not really one that you could share a detailed build on and I honestly hate Facebook. But I love this site and everybody on it, moreover it's robust enough that if you've got an Avery and want to find some pictures...Google will get you here. My first restoration project wasn't a K5...it was my late grandfather's 1949 Allis Chalmers G. Then when I was 20 (100 years ago) I did a nut and bolt on a 1949 John Deere MT.
My daughter just turned 7 and I thought it'd be fun to have a project to work on together. I figured I'd have a short window of time when she'd be big enough to drive a tractor in a parade but not so big she thought it was stupid. So, in hopes of hitting that window in stride, I set out to find a single front Avery Model A that was complete and reasonably priced. I found one in Maryland and got her bought and shipped rather uneventfully. Here's what she looked like the day I rolled her into the basement for the first time.
