I wouldn't get upset. This is a great forum complete with knowledgeable, friendly members. I don't often comment but do enjoy the restorations and face lifts of the tractors and lawn mowers. Personally, I was looking forward to your restoration of this little gem. OCC, like all other forums is made up from a diverse group who share opinions both nice and otherwise. Enjoy the group, take advantage of the wonderful online manuals and experience from the members and you will find this to be a rewarding place.
