I rescued this tractor from my parents' farm in Ohio after a tornado dropped the barn on it in 1998. It had not run in 20 years, still it started on the first pull after new filters, oil and fuel. It leaked and burned lots of oil, so I bored the block for new .045'' over pistons. The main engine and pony received new rings, valve jobs, seals and gaskets. Also installed lots of brake parts, bearings, injectors/pump rebuild, etc. Several coats of PPG Acrylic Enamel, and she's set for another 50 years of hard work !
