Hi all,
Well my dad got the tune up parts and carb kit in this week but it turns out the points, rotor button, and distributor cap are wrong for this tractor (even though the packages say for International.) Anyway, we got a wheel and tire from the parts Super A and replaced the bad rim and tire that did not hold air. Of couse, the good rim and tire came from the left side of the parts tractor and went on the right side of the tractor we are getting running so the tread is backwards for now. At least it is moble. Well, we removed the points and cleaned up the contacts real good. I cleaned the contacts better inside the distributor cap and on the rotor button. We also put new plug wires on it. (At least those were the right ones.) While we were changing the rear tire we opened the drain plug for the rear end/transmission and of course it was full of water. After it had drained for a while and we got all the sludge out of the bottom we could reach we put the plug back in and added new 90 weight to it. We topped up the hydraulic fluid, too. Then we fired it up again and it ran much better than the last time. We may not even have to rebuild the carb. It was running on all four cylinders and was not really missing at all. Now for the moment of truth. My dad got on it, put it in gear, and away he went! Both the lifts work great! All the forward gears and reverse seem to be fine. It doesn't really smoke and sounds Ok. It looks like we've got us a tractor! We still need to grease it up and the radiator leaks a bit but all in all not too bad. :thThumbsU Here's some pictures I took of it today after my dad drove it around and parked it under the lean-to:
It's starting to come along.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
