These good old RED tractors always seem to run no matter what.

I've been ask to bring some antique tractors for show at a Farm Tour. Today I decided to take one of the smallest and one of the largest.

Last week I bought a nonrunning cub that I think I can have running in time to take. Today I dug out of the back of the shed a W9 that hadn't seen the light of day in atleast two years. It has been just sitting there waiting it's turn to be restored. When I checked the antifreeze last fall was the last time I had looked at it. Still a 6 volt, I thought I'd see if the battery had anything. Guess what, she started right up. Didn't run long though, gunky gas. Cleaned up the fuel system and the W9 was good to go. Parked it outside, where it has lived most of it's life, suppose to rain tomorrow, maybe I can get some help from Mother Nature cleaning it up.

They are both sitting outside, side by side, the smallest and the largest of a 15 year long era, from 1939 to 1954.

Looking forward to a fun time, talking to people on this Farm Tour.

Anybody else out there getting ready to have some fun with their old tractors ????? ????? ???

Believe it or not, my Dad has a 51 M with a mag, had not run for at least five years, still had gas in it, hooked it to a tractor a couple of years ago and after about 20 feet, it fired up, stunk awful, run really bad, but it ran until shut off switch. Just cannot keep then red tractors down.

What you say is true, but now that you've said it you have to hope that you REALLY do have the fuel gunk problem solved. I know I waste a lot of time over bad fuel. What do some of you use for gasoline stabilizer??

As for stabilzer, the ONLY thing I use and have proven luck for me is Sea Foam gas additive. A little pricey, but it works great.

Finished haying two weeks ago, 7200 bales, most of it done with '43M and '56 I330, with a little help from the Super C and the C. Ran the M all yesterday morning at full blat, (straight pipe, no muffler) discing up a piece for more hay next year. Still have about 50 acres of rough mowing to do before snow, that will be with '49 C and Kosch side mount mower. My only off brand tractor is a 70 something MF 175 diesel that has spent all last summer in the shop waiting for me to stop using the other tractors and rebuild the engine.

Yeah, just waiting for a little cool weather here in Central Alabama to put my 59 Cub back together. Painted the chassis and tank/hood two weeks ago, but just too dang hot to do any reassemble right now. I'll just settle for shooting a few doves on the weekends til the weather cools off a bit.
