Howdy, Well, day after Thanksgiving came and with it a little holiday cheer. My friend dropped by with all the oil and fuel needed for his nearly finished JD M that I'm restoring. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. I was excited. Well, that is until I discovered the leak in his hydraulic line. It's at the point where the suction line enters the valve housing. So, gotta work on shuttin that off. Well, I finished up the rest of the fluid fillups (minus the water and gas) and decided to give the engine a try to see how she'd sound. Unfortunately I got pulled into dismounting our cornpicker from the JD A instead. Had to wait till tonight. I finally got in after supper. Put a little fuel in and opened up the line...flowed great. I turned on the switch, pulled the choke, set the throttle, and hit the starter.....crank...crank...crank...crank. Nothin. It wouldn't hit a lick. Man I was disappointed. But, I guess that's what I get for gettin too anxious and excited. I'll have to start diagnosing what the heck's goin on. Probably a fuel issue since all the electrical stuff is new and the carb is not. By the way it's been over 20 years since this one's run and I discovered that the fuel line leaks. Hate havin a nice shiny green tractor sittin there that won't run. Back to the drawing board. Part of the fun. God bless. --old fashioned farmer

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
