New in town.

I'm brand new to this board and look forward talking shop with you all. As my name suggests my primary interest lies with steam equipment, but in the past two years I have acquired three gas tractors. My Grandpa's John Deere MT, a "put together" John Deere D that was given to me by a friend, and a 1951 Minneapolis Moline Z which was owned by a recently deceased friend. Admittedly the Z was bought on emotional impulse... Oh well, it's a nice machine. I know next to nothing about any of these and will most likely be seeking guidance and advice from those more experienced than I.

I've been running steam traction engines since the age of fifteen and am currently restoring a 1909 Case 20hp at a local museum.
