Wish I could say I found it! Next best thing, my neighbor found it.
I didn't get an overall picture of it but here are some close-ups that
should show you the overall condition. It has been sitting in a lean-
to, under a tarp for the last 48 years. The lean-to had settled so
much they had to dig a trench for the tires to roll in to get one
fender to clear the rafters.
I feel compelled to donate a little time and maybe some parts
support if needed to its resurrection. I'm already lending some
of the knowledge we all share here on YT. Cylinders are currently
soaking in ATF for example. We have not tried to roll the engine
to see if it is free. We did put it in gear and roll the tractor using
the rear tires with the clutch depressed. After 48 years the clutch
is not stuck. Pretty impressive!
Original tool box still in place with the original tools in it.
Original swinging drawbar in excellent shape also include.
Best part? He got it for FREE!
