Now that you have seen it in person, is it not worth any attempt to get it running reasonably?

It could be something simple like varnished gasoline or bad timing.

I've had a few people here say that it won't get much for scrap weight and that I should put it at the end of the driveway.
I just might do that.
I have an old 2 furrow plow on steel wheels. I'll hitch them up and have a sort of gate guard.
That should teach it a lesson for being so difficult.
Never know maybe I can pass on to some countrified city slicker who don't know any better.
Arnold has volunteered to paint the whole rig in it's original colors.
Should look sharp in drab grey.

My nephew, bit of a long hair lay about is coming down this weekend. His parents want him to be exposed to a different lifestyle than spending days down in the basement playing video games.
He's supposed to be a good mechanic when motivated.
I'll let him have a go before putting the Clagwell on permanent driveway duty.
Those people in the tractor picture above ... Who are they?

The nephew is a wizard.
He got it running too well.
Got ticketed doing 75 in a 30 zone.
Couldn't stop because he didn't do the brakes.
I had to ride it out with a stuck throttle until it ran out of kerosene.
Trial comes up in May.
So far I have charges of careless, driving a vehicle without plates or safety certificate, stunt driving and being 50 over the posted limit in 3 jurisdictions, noise violations, running 32 stop signs and lights, endangering lives going through a school zone, no working brake or signal light... and the list goes on.
F...ing Hoyt Clagwell
Not an inch of soil turned.
