Me and my freind have 14 hit and miss motors and i have been itching to get a tractor for a while. i came across this tractor for free as it was sitting in this guys garage at his farm. the guy is not a farmer, but he bought this farm for his horses that his wife loves. the tractor came with the house and he just wanted to get rid of it, his neigbor said it ran 2 years ago but its been sitting since. I would appreciate any help that anyone has to offer. [Reply]   [No Email]

Check by draining a little to see if water is in there. Change final drive oil, this can be YEARS and YEARS old and really bad. You need to pull the pans to do it but is is worh doing soon just to know it is good when you are done.   [Reply]   [No Email]

About 26 PTO HP. It has a hand clutch in addition to the engine clutch to give you live PTO. I should have spin out rear wheels. Is it a wide front or a narrow front?
