Hi folks,
After lurking here for quite a while to help me decide what I kind of tractor I needed, I finally bought a fix'r upper. I primarily need the loader for clearing some brush piles on our new property in Catlett, Virginia. I'm a former auto mechanic turned software programmer with a small home machine shop, so I'm hoping to be able to do most of the work myself.
I was looking for a tractor to fix up. I love old iron of all types. I really liked the look of the Ford Jubilee and have always wanted one, but after much reading, I discovered that I needed something a bit newer. I ended up with a 1972 Deere 301 industrial tractor with a diesel 2.5L, FEL, 3PT and PTO. It needs some help, but that's half the fun.
I'm looking forward to learning about tractors and sharing what knowledge I acquired.
