Just take a break from it for a while. You might really want to reconsider buying that Ranger you were looking at after your experience with the tractor. I usually find that the stuff I think will be the easiest turns out to be the hardest and the job you think is going to be hard goes way easier. I think you need to realize that everyone who's ever fixed up a non running tractor has run into the same type of problems you are having.

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
