The compression test was done before I took possession, and before the extent of the mouse damage was known. "Dry" meaning we didn't have any gas in the cylinders that would bump up the compression. While I don't personally know how long it sat, I am pretty sure it was awhile, so the engine will be inspected before I try to run the tractor. I wouldn't have taken the deal of trading a running tractor for a non running tractor, if I had no hope of running the engine. All this is really pretty premature discussion, I was only intending this thread to be a new to me discussion and a thanks to a friend for looking it over a little bit. Now I'm not to proud to ask for and take advice, I'm not really sure at this point what advice to ask for though. We were only able to spend a half hour looking at it so far. I'll post an update when I have more info available.
