Got it running today, and it sounds great. I changed all the filters and swapped in different battery cables, as the old ones were corroded inches back under the insulation. After i bled the fuel lines she cranked for 30 sec or so and fired right up. That made me very happy. I ordered two gear reduction starters today ( one for this and one for my 1572) and napa is bringing me a set of updated ngk glow plugs tomorrow so I can finish the glow plug relay update. Now I just need a warm day to power wash the 1512 and the 982, then I can start the conversion. I know some will say I should keep the 1512 together and use it but I have a 982 with rear pto and 3-point that would make a much more useful tractor with is engine in it. The other parts will not go to waste.
