I was given a 1945 JD A last fall by my brother-in-law, that had sat since 1988. The engine was a bit stuck, but freed up with a little back and forth turning of the flywheel.
Anyway, I replaced rings, gaskets, changed all fluids, replaced the rotted out radiator core, bought a battery, muffler, had my son (he paints cars for a living)straighten and paint the hood, just finished the brakes, so mechanically, it works.
Total cost for all, not including my time and labor, is about $1200.
Value of getting on the old girl and doing some work with her, listening to those two cylinders popping?---- PRICELESS !
