New exhibits! Fordson Model F tractor and Ingersoll-Rand compressor.

[@rj-jn6ex]

Think you got something worth restoration with the Fordson - assuming no major issues. Plenty of Fordson parts online. Would be nice justvto hear the motor popping when someone drives up for a tour. Compressor nice just for display. Good luck on staging your mines with neat antiques !

Wow...Like an old vintage tweed amp!!!!! 🎸🎸 Aint nuttin' like one!!! LOL!!

[@mobiltec]

Flat heads are easy rebuilds if you can get all the bolts out.@@tecopamines

My wife and I have a 1953 Ford Golden Jubilee tractor. It is two years older than me with less miles and less dents, lol... Put approximately 3 to 4 tablespoons of Marvel's Mystery Oil in each spark plug hole and let it set for three days. Then, turn the motor by hand. I have used this trick several times to free up a motor that has set for a few years. As an aside, I have seen several tractors with the steel wheels in Central Valley, CA but I am not sure if the owners are willing to donate/sell them.

[@rexarthur8001]

Not sure what to say about the bul let hole. I would guess that you would have to find out what internals were damaged? Did not see that when I commented above. Maybe you can stop at Somalian Farms in Fresno, CA and ask for advice and/or donating anything towards repair. They have probably have over 100 tractors of all types there. Explain what you are doing at your mine.

Beautiful tractor. Well done relocating these items. And, preserving history. Awesome!

[@tecopamines]

It sure is!

Wow! What great pieces of machinery! You are so lucky to have these old gals🤩Thanks for sharing🙂

[@tecopamines]

Thanks for watching!

[@Britcarjunkie]

Nice score on the equipment! You 'can' get them both running. On that hole in the block on the compressor: so long as it doesn't interfere with anything on the inside & the block isn't cracked, you can simply pop an expansion plug in that hole, and call it good. 🙂

[@tecopamines]

Thanks for the tip.
