15-Year-Old Restores Farmall In Memory Of Friend AG WORLD Thomas Holzman isn’t afraid to take up a big challenge When a family friend passed away last summer the 15-year-old painstakingly restored a Farmall H tractor that was sitting in his shed “I wanted to restore the tractor in honor of our friend and display it at a local car and tractor show ” says Holzman “When I bought the tractor it didn’t run but after tinkering with it for a while I was able to get it going “Over the last few months many people have told me what a great job I did I repainted the tractor and tuned up the engine It took me 2 months and 3 days to finish ” The tractor came with a belly-mounted mower that Holzman used before painting the tractor He says he also uses the tractor to pull hay racks “The biggest challenge was getting the tractor running and getting the old fuel pumped through it The fuel was so old that it looked like diesel fuel I plan to switch the tractor’s 6-volt starting system to 12-volt and to buy new tires ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Thomas Holzman 4280 460th St Alton Iowa 51003 ph 712 756-8988; tomtom0116@gmail com
