I'm so excited I had to take a bunch of pictures, sorry.
At first I ran into some trouble getting it off the trailer. Like I said in my earlier post the battery defiantly needs to be replaced and it either needs a new regular or a who new alternator.
Tried jumping it a couple times. Didn't let the battery charge for very long. It would maybe turn over once but just wasn't quick enough to fire.
Then I remembered that the thing had a compression release. Pulled that out, turned it over, let the release back in, she fired right up. It just runs great. There was someone over here visiting the horses and he brought his car over to help me jump it, he commented on how great it ran. I'm going to get a new battery tomorrow, and I need to fix the piece of leaky radiator hose, put a 70% water 30% antifreeze in there (for during the summer, correct??), and then I will start diagnosing the charging problem, though I will probably need some help from you guys!
On to the pics!! Sorry they are dark but the barn doesn't have any electricity yet!
I got everything including the hydraulic oil, manuals, diesel can, etc. with the tractor and the implements for $2,700. Did I do ok?
