I bought the 300

Posted by Zachary Hoyt on May 12, 2012 at 19:08:04 from (184.8.248.104):

I got it for a total of $1180 with tax and a neighbor hauled it home for me for $50 along with a pile of metal roofing and a couple of 9.00-20 truck tires for spares for the dump wagon. I am under the impression that the engine is stuck as I was not able to turn it with the crank. I'll pull the rod and main bearing caps and see if any are spun. I am wondering if the Dr Seuss shifter is supposed to be like that or if that is a special feature of this particular tractor. It does shift in and out of gear and the brakes are surprisingly good, much to my relief when I was backing it down the trailer ramps. I am somewhat at a loss about the instrument panel, it almost looks like a key is required. Tractor has a generator and I am wondering if it would have been 6 or 12 volt. There is a coolant heater and I am wondering if I just plug it in to operate it or if there is more to it than that The tires are in much better shape than I had thought they might be after sitting in the dirt. I will buy a manual soon, once I find out if the engine is repairable. Any advice about any of these matters will be much appreciated.
Zach
