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.  ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
