It's alive!!! Man, once I reworked the carb, put new points and a distributor the darn thing fired right up. Purrs like a little kitten. I took it for a little spin and everything works as it should. I could not be happier. I have about $160 in parts for the battery, distributor cap and...

Update, I lubed it and was able to easily turn over the engine with the hand crank. I have cleaned the tank, fuel bowl and carburetor and am now waiting for new gaskets for the carburetor as once I cleaned up that I have some bad fuel leaks. I also put a new battery in and it is turning over...

I have the BAKFlip MX4 on my 2500HD. Absolutely would do it again. It is in four sections vs 3 on a lot of trucks which makes it a bit easier to fold as these 2500HD's are fairly tall. I also, opted for the T-Rail and ended up with a rack that I take on and off dependent on my uses...

It is an old 6 volt and will need a battery. Interesting thing is that it has the hand crank option and I found the old hand crank for it in the corner of the barn. :) That will be useful for turning over the engine once I add some old Marvel Mystery Oil to the cylinders.

Well I have decided to dig in a bit and at least get it running. I may decide to go as far as keeping it for a little garden tractor if it's not too involved. Drug it out a bit and started a little dismantling. I will drag it over to the house in the next week or so so I have access to water...

I appreciate the insight. I know it was running when it was parked as my FIL used it for his garden plot every year until he could not climb up on it any longer. Based upon the info provided on this forum, I think I will try to get it running and go from there. I fondly remember the distinct...

Good suggestion, I will do that in a few weeks when I can drag it out of the barn.

Thanks for the link as I had not seen this one!

Thanks!

Guys and Gals, I am in the process of clearing out the final portion of the barn of my MIL's old place. There is an old 1952 Massey Harris "Pony" that has belt PTO. Cultivators on it and an old belt driven saw table saw table on the back is in the other barn. It was running when it was parked...

Just food for thought. I had some air in my waterlines the other day when I ran acroos this thread. I have been in this home for over 40 years and have not had this issue before. I noticed it right after a power outage in the area (approximately 2hrs). That got me chasing the foot valve in...

Different tractor but I had both wheels wobbling on an old Ford 2600 and had to replace the drag links, power steering and tie rod ends. Parts were only $300 and it now drives like a new tractor. I should have done it years ago.

I have the Catawba 55 rake grapple and have been extremely pleased with it. It has taken some abuse and I have had zero issues with it. I cannot compare it to a dual lid version but I would buy it again tomorrow.

I bought an old 92 Club Car with a bed/seat in the back a couple of years ago for cheap (under $2k) it has worked very well for running around the ole farm place. I have had to put a new engine seal which was a bit of a pain but I am retired so I had the time. Cost me $15 for a set of seals...

It's not cheap but a good suspension seat for these zero turns is a huge step up in comfort.
