I posted about bringing this little tractor home last week. Today we started looking it over. I had some things to do in the shop so son went out and started cleaning some of the gunk off of it. Hes pretty excited to work on it! This is an Oman B48M engine we our working with. The story we have is that it ran when parked, and its been sitting for 10 years. The first thing we noticed is a missing air cleaner screw right by the throat of the carburetor. Fortunately it appears to just be missing and didnt make it into the engine. I see a lot of corrosion on the butterfly in the carb so Im figuring on getting a gasket set and opening it up. Im sure it needs cleaned. Son got the air filter off while I took the plugs out. Heres a picture of them. If you can read plugs please tell me what there saying!
This has the usual funky wiring a lot of old forgotten machines end up with. Its also missing the battery ground cable for some reason. If we can get it running it will get a rewire for sure. It needs a set of points as well. The engine doesnt appear to have much compression so we have the cylinders filled with ATF for now I can see the intake valves moving and the engine turns free so Im hoping it just has some sticky rings. The carburetor bolts run up from the bottom of the intake so it was easier to take the intake and carburetor of as a unit. We found 1 intake gasket was missing as well. Thats where we stand on day one. Pretty typical items so far for a machine that has been sitting for years. On the plus side the gas tank look pretty clean with just some rusty loose stuff in the bottom, someone added an electric fuel pump and it still works! And the engine oil and hydraulic oil look surprisingly good. If you have any tips tricks thoughts or ideas wed love to hear them. Thanks!

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
