Donnie and Jan,
   Sorry no one has made a reply to your questions. I can try to help... but I'm a long way from Florida! 
  There is a show coming up in Inverness, Fl.this weekend , March 17th- 22nd and that should not be too far from you. I am sure that you would be able to make the right connections with a little asking around.
The man who heads up the&quot;Citrus County Fair&quot; is Hal Porter and he has an E-mail of    <!-- e --><a href="mailto:citruscountyfair@embarqmail.com">citruscountyfair@embarqmail.com</a><!-- e -->
I would try writing him and see what he says.
   Also, you might find that a high school with a Vocational Agriculture program might be a good prospect, although the school year is sort of winding down at least in regard to taking on a big project. There may also be a student enrolled in the program who lives close by you and would take it on as an independant project. I worked with a Vo-Ag class and they restored a Farmall H in really bad shape.... all I had to do was provide the parts.....not a bad deal!
    There is a really big antique tractor show south of your area in Fort Meade and I am sure you could find the help you need there. Their next show is  November 5th-8th
            Hope this helps a little.
                 Cal Innes
