   The neighbor had his Dad's tractor overhauled back in 2008 and it has pretty much set in the shed since. He asked me Sat if I could get it running so he could drive to the shop that did the OH to fix a few things. I got her going this morning and told him I could do the work on it. Drove it through the field to get it here and she died half way here(less than a 1/4 mile). I let her set for an hour or so and fired it up and got it to the front yard before it died again.

 I blew a plug of junk out of the bottom of the tank this morning, so I let her set for another hour and drove it to the front of the garage. Draining the gas now. It didn't have a screen in the sediment bowl so I put one in this morning and now half the sed bowl is full of junk from the tank.
 I plan to replace the sediment bowl(leaking) and pull the carb and clean it. Should be good to go for running an auger once the tank is clean.
 I guess I need to build a working shop and sell my projects so I can keep working on the neighbors stuff Last summer I spent a bunch of time on another guys Ford that hadn't run in several years.
 The wife didn't think I picked a good spot to park Ollie but she only had to drive around it once.
