This is the first of many questions I'm sure. Please don't be too hard on me! I'm a total newbie at tractors, and jumped in the deep end with an old Oliver and a case 580B. We bought a house with land in January and want to turn it into a small homestead/farm. We bought the two tractors to grade the land and try to get it working. They have both been sitting since they were delivered while we have been trying to get our old house sold, and now I can get either one to start. They both ran when they arrived.
I thought it was just dead batteries, but today we hooked up jumper cables and still no luck. The Oliver key had a hard time even getting it into the ignition and the key won't even turn. It did run getting it off the tractor a month ago.
Can anyone suggest what i should do?
