Basically, my grandpa's tractor's waterpump went out about 10 years ago. So it ended up just sitting in his garage since then. I'm trying to do my best mechanical skills job of putting the thing together to make it run again.So far, I've: 1. Taken the carbeurator off, cleaned it, and put it back.
2. Cleaned the air filter.
3. Put on a new bypass hose from air filter to carbureator.
4. Flushed the fuel line from the sediment bulb to the carbureator.
5. Taken the old waterpump off, and installed the new one.
6. Replaced the old top radiator hose.
7. Replaced the old bottom radiator hose. Things I still am going to do: 1. Drain the gas tank (But wondering what's a good way to flush it and drain it without taking it completely off the tractor; and how does it detach?)
2. Replace all 4 spark plugs.
3. Do an oil change & put on new oil filter.
4. Fill it up with gas, put in a new battery, and see if she starts. Anybody have any suggestions on other things I should check before I attempt to start it up (and any advice about the gas tank, since it's kind of nasty inside)? Or do you think I'll be good to go?
