New Tractor!

Posted by AGEN on September 07, 2000 at 22:01:13 from (128.194.22.55):

I wanted to tell you guys that I recently purchased (officially) my Grandpa's 1940 Farmall A (serial number 40919. It has been sitting for around 8 years now, but it has been in a totally enclosed shed and I have been giving it a few cranks religiously so that it is not locked up. Tires still have air in them and the tin is about %85. It ran when it was parked where it sits and after my Grandpa passed away, it wasn't really needed anymore. Yesterday, I officially bought it and all its equipment. I bought it for $800 and my Dad said I could have his share of the little machine, bringing my out of pocket cost to a mere $533. That includes the tractor, cultivater, planter and fertilizer boxes, diskplow, two JD disk harrows, a drum type scraper, a corn stalk chopper, dump hay rake, and a frozen up pull type sickle mower. I can't help but smile when I think about a deal like that!
I am pretty sure it isn't getting any spark, so where should I start? I plan to drain the fluids, etc., to get it is running shape, but where should I start to get it sparking and then running? (Kind of a broad question, I know, but I gotta start somewhere)
Thanks for letting me tell you about my new project, not to mention my new pride and joy. Ya'll have a good one.

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si ... [Read Article]
