Need Some Advice on Starting an Old H

Posted by Bama Red on May 20, 2001 at 18:05:41 from (63.10.52.211):

I've been negotiating with the families that own these two H's for the past few weeks and it looks like I'm going to get the opportunity to buy them. The one in front is a 1947 H and appears to have two fuel fillers - the one toward the front is clearly labeled "Gasoline" and leads to a small cylindrical metal tank under the hood which is completely rusted out at the bottom. The other tank is not labeled, but I'm assuming this is a distillate enginge H. The engine is not stuck. How will I need to proceed when I go to start this tractor for the first time. It already has new plugs (which I will check for proper gap). I'll take along a fresh battery, oil and tools. Sorry for the long post.
