finaly got time to go pick up a '53 to 30 i bought about 6 months ago, first appraisal is its pretty clean the only part actually missing is the left brake pedel assembly,has no drawbar and the pto is capped, has 3 point and stabilizer bars, the hydraulic fluid is clean and up to the add mark,it has the usual seep at the wheel end on the right side, the right rear tire is total garbage, the other 3 are good, shoot even the parking brake feature and the hood latch still work, has the air precleaner minus the jar and bail, antique gas still in the tank and sediment bowl, the engine is not locked, but it is unknown, im going to do some work then try to start it and see what happens, supposed to have a knock but the owner wasnt sure just what was knocking, radaitor and block drain were dry, has a little of what might have been oil at one time in the oil pan, but not sure what else, its low , so im hopeing it doesnt have a internal crack in the block, has been sitting in a shed for the last 15 years at least, but no rust on the tin, it has a crinkle in the left rear fender, just have to see what happens with the engine, i havent ever had one of these apart before
