I just picked up a Ford 961 with trip bucket loader for dirt cheap. It'll crank but not start. I've found the coil primary resistance about 3 ohms which is way too high and the secondary about 4k ohms which is low. Will repl that and clean carb see if it will start.
Questions;
1. My rear tires are filled almost completely with what appears to be water. It made it over the TX freeze in Feb without tearing a tire, so there's some air in there, but I'm wondering if there is a limit to the amount of water, or if I should drain some out? It's really heavy back there.
2. The loader is primitive. It appears there is only up-force on the lift arms, and just drain back going down. There is no hyd up to the bucket, and it just has the huge trip arm to release. However, I do have two hyd handles on the loader control below and in front of the seat. Only one has a hose on it. The other control piston has the hyd port blocked off. I'm assuming I can run a ram, and hose to that blocked off port and have bucket lift control, just like the loader arms? But, I won't have pressure down, and will just rely on the hyd to stay where it is in the down(forward) position until I hit the lever for it to go back up?
3. Power steering fluid recommendations? ATF? Hyd trans fluid? Actual Auto Zone 'power steering fluid'?

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. 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
