The loader was a bit rusty in some spots, it just washed clean away!
I am really starting to believe this tractor was used by the Ministry of Transportation 'cause it has rust in a lot of places I would not expect it, likely due to all the salt on our highways in the winter.
Add one more thing to the list of things it needs, a radiator. Many of the fins are rotted away, it still has maybe 1/2 of them still in tact. I'm surprised it's not leaking. Once I got is started again after it's shower, oil started dripping almost instantly from around the front spark plug. That's where it looks like it's coming from.

It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
