 Seems this N was out in the weather for the last 2yrs but spent decades being ignored in the shed. The big tool box bolted to the top of the dozer blade had a Ford screwdriver, open end wrench, and pliers. There are other tools that I don't think are Ford, they may be Everett. This tractor has the loop ammeter, grease gun holder, toolbox and other stuff I haven't gotten around to figuring out yet, all original. 10x28 rear tires are worn but not surface checked. Nothing is damaged by rust, just surface.
Down side: Grill, rear fenders, rocker, and pto shaft long gone. Most of that stuff was removed to mount the trencher near as I can tell. Trencher is long gone. Couple of dents in the hood. Only one light and one running board.
I’ll do ok because I paid less then $600, including hauling.
Now I want to take it easy getting it running. Trying to make sure I clean and lube stuff before running. I guess the proof meter cable comes out of the housing for lube, don't want that to break. The wiring harness is shot and she needs at least one plug wire. I’ll squirt some oil in the spark plug holes before I turn her over some. I don’t want anything to tear up because it’s dry.
Anyone think of anything else I should fiddle with before I start her up?
