Picked Up 551 for Brother Jimbo from Coadster-video

I got a call from my want add from Coadster as he has a 551 he picked up from a friend recently but does found himself not able to do anything with it right now so he offered it to me. It was good meeting up with you today and thanks for meeting me a little closer than your work. I was able to get the shift forks freed up and it shifts nicely in all 4 gears, changed the fuel line and installed new filter, added gas and she fired on the first pull. She runs real strong even tho it is not the original motor. I am not sure what my Jimbo plans on doing with this but it is his if he wants it. Here is the video

Nice Steve. If Jimbo don't want it for a Rat then you know who to call......

Something about that shifter seems funny to me. :)

Got to tighten up that set screw! Nice clean tractor minus the engine.

Great meeting up w/ Steve and Uncle Bo again. Shorten by lunch and some old guy...yack,yack,yack. (Got a good lead on some more stuff though). I thought it was a nice suburban, and glad we could hook up on it. Although...if I had more room, it would've stayed in my family.

Watch the classifieds, as I should have a few more things to clear out.
