She's alive again

I hauled Grandpa's F-20 to my Sister's on Friday night for our family reunion on Saturday. I arrived late on Saturday afternoon. They had unloaded the tractor from the trailer so that family members could have pictures taken on and around it. I did not know what else I should do to it to get it to start, so I thought I might as well try to hand crank it. It must have flooded and so I gave up, but it had fired, it just did not start. A while later, I tried again and on the second attempt it started. It purred like a kitten. I only let it run for about 30 seconds because I had not put any water in it. Just before dark I restarted her and drove her onto the trailer. I learned a few more things about this tractor yesterday. I wish I had a more knowledgeable F series person to make the fine tuning adjustments for me. It was a great day to get her started for the first time.

On top of that My B-I-L gave me two 16.5 tires and a rim for my trailer.


Thank you to everyone, we did this together.

you did not say, i presumed that the engine had not been started for quite some time. i always try to be prepared to let a motor run for 13 or 15 minutes or so the first start-up. seem to work better for me.
