Thanks Bill ! First question....I have the I&T Shop Service Manual IH 8....
Is there a better book? I'll tell you a little about the tractor....It looks like it has been taken pretty good care of.....metal is good on the hood and tank...grill is so-so....looks like it has been bent sideways, maybe brushed with another machine or something.
Rear rims look pretty darn good with one new tire....which happens to be the only one not up. The guy said it had a slow leak and would stay up for several days.
I looked the machine over....looking for cracks and weld etc......couldn't find any or repaired damage.
Everything seems to be complete as near as I can tell, except I'm not totally sure about the hitch parts etc....it has a single draw bar out the back.
Things I did notice in addition to the stuck engine.......I think there is suppose to be a band around and over the generator brushes....guy has that covered up with a plactic jug of some kind.....the battery box is an industrial yellow color and is in good shape except there is no lid. The steering has some play in it, part of which is the universal that is in the bend at the bottom of the seering wheel rod. Steering wheel is by no means good, I have seen a lot worse. There is 2 springs attached to the brake pedals (return springs?) that will have to be replaced.....All in all...I thought it looked pretty decent and appears that it has been kept inside for most of it's life.
Oh yeah...one other thing that is missing is the pulley at the PTO.
I'm sure that I will find a lot of things when I get it home.

Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
