Strange tractor Showed Up at the Farm

I was up at the family farm this weekend, and noticed a strange tractor down in one of the fields. I'm not sure where it came from, but I'm from a big family, so it could have been one of my relatives.
Near as I can tell, it's an Oliver 1365 - it looks a little rough, but it only shows 3500 hours on the tach. Now to figure out who left it there, and try it out...

Somebody needs to get it inside. One of the best little foreign made tractors you'll ever find.

I know the feeling of finding things in the field though. I've found two combines sitting in my fields over the years. One of the guilty parties will know who I'm talking about. LOL
 
Dad bought a new AC 5040 in like 1976 ? Similar tractor made by Fiat. I was not impressed with it.
 

I came home from a week's family vacation once and found an old beat-up 8N in the back yard. Somebody probably figured that I wouldn't notice one more tractor. I pushed it onto my trailer and dropped it off at another guy's place.
 
Great tractors I have a 4WD and a 2WD like the one pictured about as handy tractor as you can have and the good part is the PTO clutch lever is in the down position.
 
If the tractor is run with the PTO lever in the up (disengage) position it will put pressure on the flywheel pushing the crankshaft forward which will wear the thrust
washers out then wear the crank against the block ruining both of them.
 
He means that the lever is not riding the throwout bearing on the two stage clutch. Same set up as DB tractors with the secondary hand clutch for pto operation.

Now that would be a welcomed change for me. I've never found anything but rocks and a deer antler in one field that found my back tire one time. If there was a strange tractor in one of my fields, my wife would swear I had put it there LOL

Just the opposite of DB tractors the PTO clutch disc is the one against the fly wheel not the engine clutch so the PTO disengage will put pressure on the flywheel
