Thanks guys, this is just the type of info I need. As for the price... trust me it couldn't be a better price. The unit was used and fully functional through out its working life, through the 70's, and retired mid-early 80's. It was replaced,used occasionally, and then it was parked in the barn one day and never needed again.

A friend said to drain all the liquids, and refill all of the associated cavities completely full in order to rewet the dry gaskets. Then drain again and fill to the proper level.

This sounds like an extreme. Would this procedure be of any benefit?

Speaking of trannies and hydraulics... engines and hydraulics don't scare me in the least. Trannies however do. What do I need to look out for as far as identifying problems with the tranny and drivetrain? How hard is the tranny to work on? The thought of splitting the cases doesn't thrill me, but I would do it if it were't that involved (I.E. expensive specialty tools) a thing to do.

What is the likelihood there will be no... oops, almost jinxed it, ...few problems with the tranny, and what are they likely to be?

Would it have a 3ph and pto compatible with today's implements? If not what could be done to modernize it? Or would it need to be modernized? Would there be a "work around"?

I guess the tractor is inherently a mobile entertainment system, from what you guys are saying. I am almost frothing at the mouth to be out there on that thing. I must however be patient. This will come in time, and hard work.Thanks again, and keep 'em coming. My wife is patching my coveralls as I write, bless her.
