Picked her up last night for a song. She needs a little TLC.
48 8N.
Seller said it sat for two and a half years. He was Bush hogging, hit a stump and broke the steering box. Never fixed it, said it ran strong when he parked it. Motors not locked up.
My plan is to fill the cylinders with a mixture of ATF and Marvel mystery oil for 24 hours, pump the oil out of the cylinders before putting in new spark plugs, and trying to get her started. Just in case something in there is stuck.
Anything else I should consider or check before initial start? I plan to clean the tank and lines good with fresh gas and change applicable fluids.
Advice, suggestions and opinions welcome. I know we had a recent thread on the forum from someone else who is also starting a tractor that set, but searching I couldn't find it. TIA.
