Look what the mailman tried to shove in my mailbox today! lol
I had been wanting it for some surplus rearend parts for quite a few months now.It had ALOT of parts on it I didnt need,so I left it to be "picked".Told my local salvage man I wanted it and to deliver it.(he is a good guy!)Left my phone number and waited.
Driving home I passed the yard and it was gone!!!! I said "oh well" but was dis appointed.
Got home and found it dropped off in my driveway! I havent even paid him yet! (DONT WORRY,paying him tommorow!!!)Good fellow
I wont be keeping all that is here,I just wanted to keep it from the "furnace" and to get what I needed off of it.I also wanted to get anything here to someone who might need it.(NOT trying to make a killing here!!!)Send any emails if you have to have something.
Status of machine: drained about 2 quarts of water out of the rear,rest was grease,NO metal parts! Drained about 2 cups of water out of oil pan,(expected,exaust was broken,left un covered for a few months)Engine stuck,but I already knew it would be.
#2 and #3 cylinder had water(expected) #1 and #4 bone dry.Filled them with diesel. Blew water out of #2 and #3 and filled with methanol,will clean back out and install penetrating oil tomorrow.
Pulled water drain plug in block,green antifreeze came out,clean looking,dont know the strength.will drain it all out.
Block is newer 281 casting.Nothing looking busted externally.Shifter hits all gears,chassis rolls freely.(I know,doesnt mean much untill you get inside and look!;)
I know this is "long winded" but I am a kid(AT HEART") with a new toy!!!!

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. 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.
