You could have used it to make penetrating oil by adding acetone at 1:1

July 16, 1935, The world’s first parking meter, known as Park-O-Meter No. 1, is installed on the southeast corner of what was then First Street and Robinson Avenue in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The parking meter was the brainchild of a man named Carl C. Magee, who moved to Oklahoma City from New Mexico in 1927. Magee had a colorful past: As a reporter for an Albuquerque newspaper, he had played a pivotal role in uncovering the so-called Teapot Dome Scandal (named for the Teapot Dome oil field in Wyoming), in which Albert B. Fall, then-secretary of the interior, was convicted of renting government lands to oil companies in return for personal loans and gifts. He also wrote a series of articles exposing corruption in the New Mexico court system, and was tried and acquitted of manslaughter after he shot at one of the judges targeted in the series during an altercation at a Las Vegas hotel.

That tractor should have "the dreaded 9 pin connector" in the wiring harness - a source of all sorts of electrical issues over time. Separate the halves and thoroughly inspect it for signs of corrosion & overheating. Repair / replace as necessary. My .

Same here. I live trap them, administer a dose of lead and return them to thier burrow. They are more than a nuisance. The burrows are a real danger to the horses and people. I spent seven days in the hospital with a shattered knee when I stepped in a hole while pheasant hunting.

Looks good from what I can see. Great bones to start with. If you want to put it back to stock it’s missing the hour meter on the bottom right. But for $170 you made out great. I’ve got an identical tractor that I mow with that as long as it has gas, spark and air it goes and goes.

Toss it. Engine oil and gear oil has been proven to be non usable after 3 to 5 years. The anti foaming agents arebout if suspension by then. If ATF has similar agents.... it's trash. And... WHY chance it. No sense taking a chance in ruining equipment.

The consensus seems to be 3 to 5 years, even in the bottle. And it's "too cheap."

This is another project I’m working on when I’m not working on tractors. It’s a late 40’s to early 50’s David Bradley walk behind tractor. They are pretty interesting as they have a similar setup to the attach o matic. It’s set up so you can swap implements fairly quickly and easily. They usually are run by a roughly 3 horse engine usually a Briggs and Stratton or Tecumseh. There were a few different models and options available. I just have to find an engine, run the cables to turn it, and disengage the clutch. Also, find 6-16 tires for the 16 inch rims that aren’t ungodly expensive. It sat at the house I grew up in for most of my childhood. I do have photo’s of my father, my brothers, and I riding on it when we were 5 and under. I’d like to get it going if I could. It shouldn’t be too hard as the drive setup is much like our tractor.

Shutoff at the tank, one fuel filter before pump, no check valve, booze free fuel, no additives. Never had fuel issues. It's worked for me for decades.
