Most carburetors are a upgrade to what they had, I am interested in the Heat box, do you have a better pic, Welcome to the club
Thanks, I'll see if I can get a better pic
Welcome to ACMOC 025, that Ten will be a perfect tractor to restore. How is John Matta going, I spoke to his son Jim over a year ago and at the time his Mom, Mrs. Matta was very ill, they were worried they might lose her, I hope that wasn't the case.

Nice one Matt - I'm sure Mom didn't see through that one at all! My hat's off to you sir : ) Need pictures of the boy and the tractor, because when he is old enough, it'd make a great montage.
She said absolutely not to the tractor until I told her about restoring it with Matthew. Then she thought on it and maybe liked the idea, not sure. Honestly, I think it'll be something good and educational for him. I'm a general engineering contractor and own heavy equipment. I think it'll help him understand mechanics which I think a lot of kids don't get these days.
Other than that I'm having a hard time not going full throttle on a restoration right away😊. I'll post a pic of him sitting in it when we get a chance
Go hard on the Ten now and get her restored is my advice, you will enjoy the challenges, just buy a second Cat to share with your son at a later date. :eyebrows: I'd suggest a Thirty because they have a nice wide seat two can ride on, and a hand clutch a child can operate, so good to learn on, plus they are one of the nicest looking old crawlers around in my humble opinion.
That is sad news about Mrs. Matta, it must be hard for John and the family

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
