Re: 1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration
So the weather was good enough to roll her out this afternoon and log some break in/debugging time. We dialed in low idle and got to run her through all the gears for the first time. No real surprises. A little vibration in 3rd...which makes the right brake lever contact the right fender. We'll probably stay out of 3rd
![]() If you haven't figured it out yet, my little girl's name is Avery...which made this the logical first project. Of course she rode around the block with me today and a couple of minutes in asked, "Hey Dad, do you think anyone else in the neighborhood has a tractor?" ![]()

Re: 1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration
That's great...what a coincidence the her name and the tractor are both Avery....

Re: 1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration
Brad,
Please tell your daughter that the two of you did an incredible job!!! I worked 13 years for John Deere in the Quad Cities and Waterloo. Combines and tractors. Does she know your mint restored Avery is worth around $100,000 ? More than a mint restored Blazer or Jimmy! Terry |

![]() My last summer in college I worked at the John Deere dealership in Columbus, GA. I grew up watching my uncle farm with Generation II stuff and loved it. It's funny but my Eleanor is probably a '77 4230...not a truck or a car. The way they're going up though, by the time I've got enough space to have one I won't be able to afford it.
