I think I did better this time.

I bought this from Mike a.k.a. Sparky a few years ago. This came from the big show in 23 or 24. Maybe Mike can chime in. I believe around there. I was going to sell this one until I took it out of the shed and could not believe how it started right up after sitting out there for six months. I’ve been tweaking it a little bit for the last couple days. The last thing I needed for it was a coil so I bought an Excel coil #8140. I got this info from squawk. He used to be electrician so I figured he knows what he’s talking about.  This is a nice little tractor.Great for going around in the shows. So hopefully I did better on this video than the last. Let me know what you’re thinking. I’m a big boy I can take it. I look up in the manual section and this engine is an A prefix so that being it is a 65 engine in a 66 frame. Again enjoy the vid.

  Ahhh,,,the 856. I bought that one at the 2024 WHCC Show. 
  Video was good except the part where your finger was on the camera lens :lol:
  Maybe step back and get the entire tractor in the video and do a walk around and not just close-ups (you asked for opinions). 

  So that one was a runner with the mechanical fuel pump when you bought it off me, did it fail? Or did you just swap it to an electric because you prefer them?

Mike thanks.I will have to try that in the near future. I was trying to get the id tag on the engine to show the A  on the tag. I guess it did not work because of the cell phone. May be I should break out the old vid camera from now on.
