Last weekend I changed the oil on my '53 SM. When I got done with it I pulled it out into the drive and let it run for a few minutes at about half throttle. When I went to shut it down I cranked the throttle back to low idle, let it run for a few second and shut it off, which it did but then dieseled for a few more seconds (might have even been running backwards).
I've had this thing for a little over a year but have hardly run it, in fact it was the first time I had changed the oil on it. It does have fresh gas in it though with stabil added.
I know last year I was using it to move wood around on a pulp cart and it backfired once when shut it off.
What do you think? I'm going to check the timing and make sure that's right and I also have new set of Autolite 3116s for it (it has Champion UD16s in it right now). Maybe back the idle jet out a bit too?
The thing sounds very strong and runs very smooth, starts well and does not smoke. Somethings just bit off somewhere. I think I'm going to try plowing with it this fall, I would like to figure our what's going on before I really put a load on it.

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
