It only ran for a second because I saw that there was no oil pressure. I bought the tractor with the engine stuck, got it freed up, straightened out the clutch, put a different carb on it and it started, but was shut down immediately. I bought it because I knew the history; My Father"s buddy"s Father in Law bought it new and farmed with it for years, a few years ago he approached us about all of the equipment except the A which he wanted to restore. We got a late B, an ABG snow plow, a number 5 mower, a 44 trip plow, a runnung gear and a few misc. items and I helped him get the A running...everything with the exception of the snow plow blade was always shedded to that point. He drove the A home about 20 miles, parked it by his tool shed and let it sit for about 6 years. Then called me last summer to see if I was interested, it had the engine stuck, and the brakes and clutch frozen. Once I had it started I shut it right down, and put it in the barn fully intending to make it this coming winter"s project as I luve As. Unfortunately we are in the middle of restoring a Super M and a "53 Jeep, and when base gasket went on my favorite tractor, our "48 A I took the head and block to be tanked and checked, found the head was junk and the block needed bored, so new pistons, rings...plus another block, and with money tied up in the other two projects something had to go because I wanna be plowing with the "48 this spring tryin" out that new 125thousandths over bore! Anyway it is sold, was gone about an hour after I put it up, went to a collector in Owego, NY with whom we pull sometimes. It was a 1 stick tranny. Pete

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
