Well boys, She has arrived, about 7:30 last night. My 1975 1066, nice. I will get a pix when I and all done. The truck driver was funny. I bought the tractor in CT and the batteries were dead. They jumped it in CT and he left it running on the trailer the whol eway to our place in Mass, 160 miles. That was good, he backed in the drive and we off loaded it. He then shot it off, and that was it, dead. We tried to jump it, nothing, the start would wine but the gear did not engage. QUESTION: Do you think there was not enough balls in the jumper cables from my truck to fire the starter bendix or do you think the starter it shot. When they jumped it in CT, they took a bolt and crossed the tops of the solenoid. I know I need new batteries but I think there must be something wrong. Anyway, a chain an another tractor, we got her turned around and down back. Took the starter off anyway. Thanks
