lessons learnt early on

I have been working on the tractor now for about 2 weeks.

I will add lots of photos for the deconstruction so far, however I just wanted to update a few key points.

-It will take a lot longer than expected
-It will cost a lot more than expected
-Big up front investment in power tools is required (cool!)

-Buy some dedicated overalls/clothing or ally our clothes will end up wrecked
-Buy some gloves for working with, or all your knuckles will be skinned
-Buy some swarfega, or your entire house will be covered in oily finger prints

I now have all of the above and everything seems a little easier!

What i should of done, is take lots of detailed photographs before taking things off/deconstructing the tractor. However, this seemed to happen organically- rather than with foresight and planning.

I now have some huge cardboard boxes full of dirty/oily parts! With no real idea where they came from... :(

What could possibly go wrong?... ahh.
