New 700b Guy

10603.jpg

Hi all. New guy here from Oklahoma just pulled Grandpa's old case out of the pasture. I was the last one to drive her but that was over twenty years ago. Wish me luck!

Am I crazy to think I can lube the pistons by pouring down the exhaust manifold with the decompression valve open?
 
Yes it is a Diesel. Definitely keeping it. I might be disowned if I sold Grandpa's tractor :).
Going to do our best to get it fixed up.
 
Welcome! Glad you joined us, we look forward to seeing more of you and the "700B"
 
Crack your engine oil plug a little ways and see if any engine coolant has leaked past the sleeves from sitting.
 
We got the old tractor hauled to my work so I can get started on her.

The serial number plate says it is a 702b. Is this an orchard model?
I do not remember it ever having full fenders. Grandpa used it to grow wheat.
 
Pulled the valve covers last night. That THICK oil is coating everything. I am happy about that. However I figured out why the oil was so thick. There was no oil filter in the canister.

May well have had the wrong oil too. Recommend you put in a quart of diesel fuel with the new oil, warm the engine up and let it run for half or an hour, then change it again.
 
I a glad that I did NOT pour oil down the exhaust manifold.

I did remove the manifold and vacuum out a couple handfuls of dirt/rust before squirting Deep Creep down the exhaust valves.

I have got my fingers crossed that she will free up.
