We had a little time this afternoon to continue going over the M. THE GOOD Tractor starts up easy. No unwanted bangs or knocks, sounds pretty good. Im just not a fan of straight pipes! Hydraulics lift, hold, and lower as they should.
Generator Works! My cheap volt ohmmeter show its putting out 13 to 14 volts. We have working headlights!
PTO functions as it should ( not under load yet). No water in any oil compartments. Water is circulating in the radiator. Tractor goes into and out of gear easily. I didnt drive it much just enough to go into each gear and listen. No noises coming from the gears. THE BAD We still have to sort out our batter cables to the starter. We have no working gauges. I wanted to make sure we had oil pressure so I cracked to line to the oil gauge and sprayed oil all over everything! I know, dumb move! I asked son why he didnt stop me, he said I thought you knew what you were doing! It does have a bit of a lope at low idle but Im not going to worry about it until the tractor gets some work under its belt, it may just need to be run. The brakes still need some attention, but at least the both do function at this point. So nothing horrible, just some things that still need attention. THE UGLY

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
