I picked up this MM RTU this week. It has spent all it's life on a local farm a couple miles from me. The last it was run was 2005. It's always had lots of TLC. Sat morning my son and I went to get it. we poured some gas in it and aired up one front tire. Got it off the jacks it was on, checked the fluids, and stuck the hand crank in to start it. after about a dozen flops it was fireing, and a few more and it would run for a moment. Pushed it outside and hooked a chain to it and gave it a tug. and same thing. run for a moment. took out the idle and fuel jets, wiped them down and put them back in, and then it ran. The son drove it home. It now starts usually on first pull. It runs like a top, has excellent brakes and the clutch has no issues. the only problem I have found is a leaking seal on the tranny input shaft. Only drips when running. I posted down on the MM board and got a few opinions there. I am looking for opinions here on TT. I am still not sure how long I will keep it, as I'm a Case guy, but I also grew up seeing this tractor a lot, and we were all neighbors and friends.

Ps sorry for the pic sequence being a bit out of order. for the last few months it takes forever to get a pic to upload, and I end up previewing and then going back and trying again to make it work.
