Drove up to Tom O'Connor's place today to finalize things. Must be the most laid back guy in the world. Title signed and sitting on the dash. Called him up and he said just leave a check on the dash of his PU. I had to insist someone sign a receipt for the Secretary of State so he had his wife drive over and take care of it. Tom was out on the back of a field putting his time to better use working ground. Asked a couple questions regarding operation and headed out on the road. Had to relearn the tricks of driving a stick shift in a medium truck but I figured it out. Heck of a intermittent howl had me scratching my head but I figured out the parking brake needs adjustment. Seemed like Tom mentioned that. Played with it a bit and the howl went away. By the time I got home I felt like I was on the FD again. Ignore 1st, start in 2nd. If it is rolling don't shift below 3rd. 4th most of the time.
Everything seems to work. So far all it seems to need is the mouse smell out of the blower and a couple of running lights changed. No AC but it does have AM...radio that is. Planning on keeping an eye on fluids, being safe with the hoist, enjoying another nice old piece of equipment. Anyone know how those running lights change? They have no screws in the cover and don't seem to come out the back?

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
