Yeah I will try to get some pics posted so you guys can see how rough she is. I think the school where my girlfriend teaches has a digital camera. If I can remember I will ask her if she can bring it home. I had to pull the radiator out of it this morning, because I went out to the shop, and there was a green pond on the shop floor. I am going to take it to the radiator shop tommorrow to find out if I need a new core. I am afraid the core is probably rotten, because I had to replace the radiator in my 1973 JD combine several seasons ago.

Not to spoil your fun but is that tractor really field ready. Nine years is a long time for something just to sit there and not run at all. I know you said the engine and transmission have been rebuilt. After nine years it's not going to run like it was shut off yesterday. I would think you need to change all the fluids. Pay special attention to the engine oil cause contaminents probably have built up and the internal parts might be weak.

he got the thing for free, for crying out loud. If you read his stuff, you will see he is checked out on all kinds of shop work and knows what he is doing. I envy his position. Have a good one, VAfarmboy! Your adventure is just beginning.
