Oh yeah, Hal, what a mess, the previous owner as you can tell by his maintenance skills is useless as T!ts on a bull. He was a hack no matter how you look at it. Anyways I have a new design for the hydraulic system but it is money permitting, hydro parts are not cheap around here. So I get to work with what I have. I had the lift, curl and grapple working today a couple of times but it keeps getting airlocked and bleeding is not an easy job to do by yourself. I was trying to convince my FIL to come by and help as he works with Heavy Machinery and is an Ex-Farmer but he couldn't so I had my wife trying to help me until the system blew fluid all over me, my truck, the tractor, my wife and everything within a 20 foot radius of it. Will get back at it tomorrow, eventually I will get all the air out. But welcome to my nightmare, thank god I can see through grease and dents like it is glass, I know what this tractor CAN and WILL be, just need more time, more money and more patience. So in answer to your question, no the former owner is retired, moved into a Winnebago and is down in FLA or something. So you guys are definately stuck with me for a while. :)

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
