    That's a neat tractor!

    tapatalk has not allowed me to post pictures, and figuring out photobucket is way above my pay grade. We have released the choke, and the starter. We drained all the radiator fluid out which seems to have been in there for quite awhile. 1 cylinder is completely free, the 2nd one the pb blaster/diesel fuel is eating away at it. The fly wheel is beginning to move. It shouldn't be long and she will fire up. Then we will start the sanding, painting, and all that fun stuff

    Been awhile since I updated. Got it to a friend's shop today and breaking it down. Having to send block and head to get some machine work on them, then it should be ready to roll. The first cylinder was froze solid. As you'll see. We hooked it to a belt and pulled it and it wouldn't budge. Had to use a 40 ton press to unfreeze it.

    Blocks all done, everything is almost ready. Have engine and head studs on the way then it'll be back together and rolling

    Today she finally ran for the first time in God knows how long. Now she goes to get cleaned real good and prepped for paint.

    Cool thread!
