new owner

I'm new at this tractor thing, prbably going to hang here for a few months and ask questions about this, like how to operate all them darn levers..

The FEL is a 417, I was told it used Motor Oil instead of hyd. oil.. can someone confirm this?

I followed the instructions to drain the lines, yes, the fuel line was shut off at the tank, I drained the tank, put fresh gas in it, scraped off the carbon on the dist cap,rotor, points, took the plugs out and wire brushed them off, previous owner said to use 10W30 in the hydraulic tank? so I did put in 4 litres, and charged up the battery.

Now it is running, there is no brakes, and there is a horrible crack on the exhaust manifold, but I did manage to set the chicken coop to where it is going, picked up the dead shingles from around the house and dump them into the rented dumpster I got for re=-roofing the house. and I dug out a stump.

Not bad for a days work with a tractor older than me. I'll post some pics of the tractor to the website later
