Wellll, I bought it. It is, indeed, frozen up tight; I tried with all my might to turn the crank, which may not be much torque at all, but it wouldn't budge. I am hoping it is the starter, as Jerry suggested.The previous owner said that someone, prolly the same guy who took off the carb, put Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders, and that was a year ago, so I have my fingers crossed.
I am liking this little red tractor more all the time. It does have the one armed loader, looks as if it's a factory job. The scraper looks as if it fits to the rear. And, it is pretty heavy. The sickle bar is a little rusted but I think it will work.I don't think either one of these implements are factory.
Someone took off the Zenith carb and it has some rust. Neither of the butterflies move, but it looks as if it can be worked free with some penetrating oil and a little time.
Interesting that there are two splined shafts from the PTO. There is also what looks like a 2" ball hitch approximately under the driver's seat on the left, but it is in the wrong plane. That is, it is mounted on it's side. Wonder what this is, but maybe it will be more clear in the daylight.
Also two places to put on drums to belt-drive equipment. This must have been a one-machine-does-all machine.
The rear hydraulic pump that, apparently, lifts the 3- point is HUGE.Maybe this is mostly reservoir? The front pump is tiny by comparison.
I think someone widened the bucket as there's a seam there. It is now about 4 ft. wide.
I am looking forward to working on this machine, but I am wondering if farmers in the fifties were a LOT stronger than now! I mean, these implements are HEAVY. maybe that's why farmers always wanted a few sons?

A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
