Haas: Just wondering if may be some of the last 130s may have had the slower 1st gear. My 130 is definately slower than SA. Just checked, my 130 is a 1958 model.

I really haven't had 140 long enough to check and compare. Been doing mechanical items since weather warmed up. I had a whole host of electrial items early on. Just when I thought I had it ready to go, and wanted to check out an oil leak on valve cover. Had a spare gasget on hand from another project. I discovered rad had been pushed back at top about 2". Hood wasn't fitting well either, but had planed on doing bit of work with tractor to see what else I may have wrong.

Turn out the previous owner bought farm land from a guy to build a greenhouse complex. For some reason the guy they bought from bcame disgruntled about the deal and went over one day with 140 and drove through end of greenhouse. In the end they bought him out tractor and all. Tractor sat in their heated warehouse for several years. Because of position of that top support it spread side frame around rad and top hose stretched the core at top end. Soon as they put a bit of heat to this top of core developed about 2 doz. leaks. I suspect the coolant was down below that level for those several years of storage. Bottom end of core seems in decent shape. First time I ever had to recore a Farmall rad. I guess the first time always hurts. My Chevy diesel with extra size core for trailering was less money.
