Lot of good replies to your post. Some I agree with, some I don't. Don't be discouraged. There are many tractors around in my area that guys and ladies say they'll get fixed up but never do. They rot away and it breaks everyone's heart.
There are plenty of people around complaining about the local youngsters not being interested in farming. Completely untrue. The youngsters are there. One party is either not listening or the other party is not loud enough. It's a lethal combination of both usually.
Got plenty of old tractors around. We farm and truck too much to get any real work done on them anymore but whenever Grandpa and Uncle are wanting something new to work on we oblige another project.

Tractor might just be given to him if he's serious about giving it attention. G-Grandfathers best friend would be pleased. Loved helping young guys out.
You can't save them all. It's a shame. Save the ones you can.

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
