Renovating a BCS 737
Hi
I am a (very) happy owner of an old 737. Bought it with a large three rotor mower last summer for 3500 kr (about 600$) but havent had time to mess arround with it untill now. It is in quite poor condition and looks like it has been spending alot of time in rainy weather.
But is starts immediately. It kan shift gears and the PTO is spinning. The ACME engine sounds fine and runs steadily even in idle running. Some cleaning, rust removal and paint has now made it look very fine again.
I just bought a sickle bar (Ferrari) and is about to start using it for hay making for our Boer goats.
Questions:
1. The engine is old, so do I have to use leaded gasoline?
2. Acording to a manual I found on the net, the transmission holds 2 litres of oil, but I only drained about 1 litre fom it. I have filled 1 litre on it again and it now reaches the upper marking on the dip stick. What is the correct amount of transmission oil. One or two litre?
Best regards
