I was beginning to worry the doorway might not be high enough. Plenty of room. Careful as the last tractor
got a coat of blue paint that went into that garage ! lol.
 
That is pretty cool, we had a JD B on for the spreader, back in '74, I think I have a photo of it, kind of distant, but there.

Years later I used to run my farmer friends JD 620 on a gravity wagon with an auger, these were the only 2 cylinder JD's I ever ran to date. During spring planting, he had it on that wagon loaded with fertilizer, wanted me to run it up to the field across the road, good sized hill, bit steep. I was afraid to do it, had his son take it up, he knew that tractor much better than I did and was an expert with it backing hay wagons. I was afraid of stalling it, using the wrong gear for the load, then going backwards if the brakes did not work when trying to shift. The hand clutch is also just the opposite of my old D7, had to think about it when I used it LOL ! Sometimes best to leave a task like that to someone experienced, boy that would have been scary if it got away from me, will never forget that. He made it up there and parked it, chocked the wheels etc. I used to like hearing that 620 working the fields, no matter what he was doing with it, it worked here the better part of 50 years. Last I saw it, someone drove it off the farm down this road one last time, was sad to see it's last trip by, used to see it all the time back in the day.
 
The tank has some junk in it,,its not rusty,,but he had to take the line loose and blow in it a few times,,and the carb has no adjustment,but it does run and throttle up and down
