Well i got it Sunday evening,Put a battery in it to see where i was at with the starter and it clicked turned real slow click click click.I went to undo battery and burned my hand pretty good,Bad short when ignition was on so Monday i chased everything out rewired a bunch of stuff that was hooked up wrong put fuel in and started it up drove into the garage.Started checking all bolts,fluid levels and so on.now when manuals come in i will go through everything and start ordering things i need as i go.

Just got back home,I found a 3 point with rear blade $150. blade new 3 point very good shape except blade mounting plate not very good.I will rebuild the plate
I pulled the cap off the 3 point hydraulic line it was plugged,Oil was milky so i pulled all hoses off(a couple need replaced) and drained all the fluid.

 

[shawn sutton]

New filter came last night and a roll of hydraulic line and ends.Made new hoses and installed them today.Put new filter in and topped off with fluid changed the oil and fuel filter.Fired it up with no leaks and everything works great.Now it's time to start primer and paint.
