I had to feed yest as I had Dr. appt today and expected to have to use a LP tractor and hay buggy. but I thought I would try the 5020 after a 10 degree night and temp no higher than 20 deg. at 10 am. NO ETHER It rolled for about 20 seconds on the starter and kept rolling on its own and within 15 more seconds it was running rough but true and a few seconds later it was purring it's normal strong growl. Now this convinces me the motor is pretty sound and I have a pretty reliable old horse. At least I didn't have to fool with the old buggy deal.
Also thanks to those who gave me advice on the three point fix in the summer. It was a PIA getting that cable in because of a hiniker cab on it and when I tilted the cab back then forward again I broke the brake pedal setting it back down but i welded it back with Perfalloy rod to my satisfaction. (straight). bone yard wanted 45 dollar for a used one. I figure if it breaks again ever, I will reinforce it with a piece of a horseshoe but this fall tillage it held fine.
