Leonard and I started by power washing and disassembling what we could remove. We tried to save everything! I had no idea of what parts I could get or where to go to get them. Once again, Larry came to the rescue; he hooked me up with Red Power Magazine, Antique Power Magazine, and Belt Pulley Magazine. They have all proved to be invaluable as well as enjoyable. One of the best tips that I can give to someone just starting out in this hobby is to get subscribed to one or all of these magazines. They are loaded with tips, information and the most important, classified ads. That is how I found Rice Equipment; supplier of a super parts catalog, and outstanding supplier of original and reproduction parts for the f-series farmall. The Parts manual from Rice equipment was without a doubt the best money I spent on this entire project. I can not recommend it highly enough; it allowed me to order only the correct parts and gave an exploded view of how this thing should go back together. (And come apart) I bought another parts manual, from another company, but the copy was poor, and it didn’t list all the parts, just some of them, giving me a bunch of information that was just confusing. (Leonard and my wife, both say that doesn't take much for me). An aut! hentic reproduction parts Book has become my tractor bible, its’ importance can not be overstated.
