I decided that I needed to start my Oliver 1800 and move it to a place where it would not be in the mud when the frost leaves the ground. Tried to start it but it turned slow so I put the charger to it or about 30 minutes and tried again. No go, turned no faster than before so I gave it another 30 minutes and tried again and this time it cranked fast for a couple of revolutions and back to just grunting.
I finally walked away and went on to some other projects and almost forgot that the charger was still connected to the tractor. When it occurred to me that I was still trying to get the old tractor running so back I went. This time it spun over rapidly but it did not fire. My wife who was watching me suggested that I was out of fuel but I did notice some smoke from the stack so I was pretty sure I had some fuel. Next I tried a little starting fluid but that did not seem to help so I decided not to use that anymore.
Well, very 10 minutes or so I gave her a whirl and finally it sputtered a few times and finally started. I quickly moved it to its new parking spot and sat on it to let it run for a few minutes to warm it up good when it began to sputter and act like it was going to stall so I shut it off. Took a look in the fuel tank [diesel] and sure enough my wife was right again.
