Time to blow the dust off this thread. It has been way too long since I have worked on this tractor, but I’m back at it and planning on finally finishing it. A couple weeks ago, I dug it out of the corner and got it running. I had to clean the carburetor and put a new battery in it, and I had the driveshaft out, so I had to put that back in. I had it covered in the garage, but it was still dusty and covered with spider webs, so I took it outside and washed it. Then I took it for a ride for the first time since 2017. I let it run for a while to start breaking in the motor, then let it cool overnight and retorqued the head bolts. Next time I have it running I have to get it warm and change the oil. Now that it’s running again, it’s time to work on getting the rest of the parts painted for it.
