Son in Law picked up a A/C model B off Ebay

He brought it over for my inspection & fix/
repair & replace what ever it needs.. Will be
a firewood hauler.. From what I can see he did
A-OK!! For those of you who know me I do 99%
green & yellow tractors. Don"t know much about
this little B & am not about to start asking
question"s without a Service manual as of yet..

So Far Needed a battery,muffler & brakes
adjusted or replaced & Found out the starter
works & the charging system works tires are
good, wheels are better & runs smooth..
$661.00 I don"t think he can Lose on this deal.

Sounds like he got a decent deal.

I used a CA for about 12 years, gardening and hauling firewood. They don't seem to be too complicated, but then, I never had to do much to mine until the throwout bearing locked up and wore the fingers off the pressure plate before I knew it. They are very easy on gas. I see you are experienced enough not to tackle too much without a manual. That's where many people mess up. Every time I buy a vehicle or tractor, I buy SOME kind of manual. "Course, factory is always best, but generally, SOMETHING is better than NOTHING.

Second the motion on getting some kind of manual before tackling it. My "eureka moment" on that policy was when I unscrewed an innocent looking bolt on an Oliver, and when I got it loose, the bolt, spring and check ball flew across the shop and bounced all over the place. Took me half an hour to find all three pieces. Never again- I want to know whether that bolt is something more before I unscrew it!

It's always a big plus when the charging system works. Sounds like he got a good buy. Jim
