I bought half-a-dozen old tractors over the winter, but put off picking any of them up until the snow was gone.
Went to get my first one today, about 120 miles distant. Kind of hard to get into "the swing of things." Got a few miles from home and realized I had no license plates on my truck. Had to go back home and take them off my plow truck (where I'd stuck them on just to make it look legal this winter). Left again, and flipped my dual tank switch and found out my aux. 50 gallon diesel tank was empty. So, went back home again to fill it up. My truck holds 85 gallons and I like to leave with it full.
After that, things went OK. Got the tractor, brought it home. Then, tried to get it off the trailer by myself, since my wife was too chicken to sit on it and steer, or run a tractor to do the pulling. So, I hooked my Ferguson TO35 Deluxe to the Massey Ferguson 35 on the trailer and pulled. But. . . forgot to unhook one chain and broke the tow-rope. Oh well, things could of gone worse. Hopefully, next tractor pickup will go smoother.
Tractor I just picked up is a Massey Ferguson 35 with Perkins diesel, Multi-Power, power steering, and live PTO. Paid $475 for it, condition totally unknown except the engine is not stuck. Sat in a field for a few years, and former owner deceased.

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
