Thanks guys - you can bet I'll be back this site is great.

My brother got this tactor a couple years ago in non running condition. He has my grandfathers A with plow, disc, cultivator, original manual AND Sales slip from 1946! Anyway, I'm building a new house and was bugginh him about letting me use that old B---- (as dad would put it) and told him he could even store it over at my house for safe keeping as now it sits in a dusty dirty machine shed. Well - he said he would sell me his project tractor for what he paid and I agreed after he said it would probably only a couple hundred dollars to get running. SO I says DEAL - we load it up and haul it to his buddy's house for a tune up. I tell him I just want to see what it will take to get running - dont worry about the starter etc. didnt want to spend money on it until we found our ir was sound - he looks it over and says I didnt have to worry about the starter kuz they aint no starter and they aint no place to install one. Here I am expecting the same tractor as grandad's - Oops on my part. Anyway he says it'll be $900 to fix it up. I stutterd and my brother just give it to me to help take the ouch off a little bit, All I have to pay is the repair bill.

Bottom line is - I have an old stripped down model - no starter - no generator - no lights - not even a kill switch yet - just a magnito and a home made crank. Dont have a clue what oil is in the tranny - but I'll check it out -

I'm assuming it's very possible 90wght - sounds like it wants 140wght?????

By the way - it runs great with new carb and rebuilt magnito. The magnito came from Grandad's tractor - Dad said they switched it over to generator etc. years ago but he thinks it had lights even when it was using the magnito. What would I have to do to put lights on this tractor?????

Thanks
