the story is that an old guy bought it new. he passed away and his neighbour was farming his land and bought it. tractor was sitting in a shed there. they moved it to their place . then he got a kid to pull the head off cause they thought it was seized. the kid never did finish the job. and in the mean time this tractor sat in their shop for eighteen years. then he thought he better sell it. I bought it and brought it home. finished the job. removed rad and flushed the mice, canola seed and mouse nests out. flushed the block was full of peas and canola. removed fuel tank and pressure washed it inside. was full of old rotten gas varnish and scale. made new battery cables 2/0 yes put in new 6 volt battery, set the valves, checked the spark,set the timing adjusted carb, oiled the cylinders, cranked it over about 10 times and away it went. ooh ya then shut her down and fix carb to governor tang, was not in place. then tried it again fired right up with 2 revolutions. warmed it up and then retorqued the head and set the valves. adjust carb again . then went for the first drive in the snow. and put a muffler on it. starts with 1/2 revolution now. I looked in spark plug holes and can see high dome pistons in it. so someone did an overhaul at one time. its about as original as it gets. it has about 17 years of work on a 69 year old tractor. so im happy with that.
