Back to tractor building - family style!

I get to build tractors all over the world and work with some pretty great people.  The challenges we face are tough and the deadlines as well.  One thing I enjoy than build NH tractors is actually working with my family on the old ones!  When the budget allows we get a old one to store in the barn and then we start to tinker.  The tinker gets to looking good and the reward of working as a family on this starts to come alive!  This is Nate's tractor ( i am buying each child one to restore with me) and he is working hard.  He is so so so excited to ride this one when it gets shiney soon!  It is a 1953 Farmall Cub and is really stripped down in this picture.
Nate blowing the dust off "cubbie" which we started but ran out of time before we had to leave to Italy



Nate tightening the bolts on the new radiator installed:  Nate is using his trusty stool on this!

Ok, now we got to get this starter running:  needs new parts but Nate is cleaning up what good is left of the old:
