This old John Deere 60 must have had a hard and abused life, trailered it home earlier this summer and working 12 hour days 5 days a week has only offered me limited time to work on it, too tired when I get in and this south Alabama heat and humidity doesn’t help, Saturday’s is usually catch up on chores I don’t get to during the week so I have little time to devote to it. Have already removed the tank and used epoxy to fill in probably 20 rust holes, then poured two coatings of Red Kote tank liner in about two weeks apart and let cure one month. Replumbed the gas line after mounting the tank back to the hood, and have a sore back now from remounting the hood and tank by myself, late yesterday evening was a mess when I had to cut the distributor points plate out because of rust, new part will be here Friday. Well today is another surprise, drained oil, went to remove old oil filter and guess what, no oil filter, some previous owner was too cheap to put a oil filter in it. No water in the old oil but almost has a gasoline smell to it, could be the Marvel Mystery Oil I poured in earlier this year to loosen things up. Sure wish this old gal could tell me her story, I believe she’s been treated like a red headed step child.....

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
