I ran across this 1862 on CL, it was also on the Farm Equipment company's Webb site. "The tractor was a trade in, the owner passed away , It had been parked in a barn for years, They couldn't get it started" As is Where is $500.00. So I bought It. Hauled it home put a good battery in it (expecting to find it sized or knocking) it cranked and had good compression, but would not start. Took plugs out had spark, no gas to the carb, Somebody replaced the starter solenoid and fuel pump and crossed the lines, the out was connected to the crank case and the pulse was connected to the carb I changed the oil and filter (oil was like water) is started right up, all things seem to work (50" deck and mule not back on, They took off to move with fork lift)
It runs drives fine, its quiet. The transmission is low on fluid... What kind can I add for now. Until I can change it. The local TSC has "Cub Cadet® Drive System Fluid Plus" $14.99 QT Suggestions, Thanks
