That's almost as good..... And can be leverage for the future. Yes honey bunches I do realize it's a great difficulty for you/us to change implements. No, I don't mind buying another tractor or 3 so we don't have to do that.... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a new one on me. What would have caused that? It has been sitting for more than 10 years without running I know. I was glad to see that the gas tank is bone dry, clean and shiny as new inside. While that's just a guess, with the gas tank bone dry and shiny clean it sounds like someone may have done a little work to put that tractor up for "Long term Storage" . If they did, they may also have put several squirts of oil in the cylinder. If you've turned the engine over several times, that oil could be "pumped" out the intake and exhaust valves. You're seeing it in the carburetor, but you can't see it on the exhaust if the muffler is in place. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jrblanke 840 #257 Posted January 17, 2021 Any updates on this @Mr Magoo? I'm wondering about that 856. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They helped pay for everything I needed to do to my good C-120 that is my daily worker. On top of that, I bought a piece of property last fall and will be building a new home in the near future. This is making some downsizing necessary so I am in a good place for my retirement. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
