No, but I am interested in what you are offering.

When I built my shop, I put a mountain of dirt that I dug out in the back, where the garden used to be. In front of one of my tractors there was a mountain of dirt, so it was a bit stuck for a few years.

Moved about 60 yards of the dirt, graded it, unstuck the tractor, then took the tractor into the garage and went to get it running again. Next step is to move some more dirt in and grad it, then get some fence and fence off a section so the deer and groundhogs and rabbits and everything else can't get to it. Then till the ground, compost it, and get ready to plant.

Got the new holland into the shop just in time for sun down. Weather was still nice so I turned on some tv in the shop and started fiddling with the tractor for a couple hours.

He’s a little young to start on green beer isn’t he? Nice picture, he has your hairline.

My wife keeps complaining that all her friends baby's have hair but my son doesn't. Her father had a full head of hair until the day he died, as did mine. If he doesn't grow hair quick, I'm sure it'll be my fault.

It looks like you have some sort of a no kill tractor/skidsteer shelter there.

Definitely some good patina on them machines. More pieces of equipment then we knew about!

Isn't that the whole purpose of the forum?

Fuel wasn't getting to the carb. So I ripped out the lines and pump, replaced the lines, cleaned the pump, put it back together. Primed the system, and it fired up. The starter relay is iffy, so I'm going to replace that. And the exhaust has a leak, so I'm going to weld that up. Then I'll have a plow tractor.

The beast needs to move. There's no moving it unless it moves under it's own power. So I turned on the fuel and it came pouring out the carb. So it took the carb off and rebuilt it. I put a battery in and it turned over, but didn't fire. I measured the voltage at the coil and it has voltage. Next step is to pull a plug and make sure I have spark. Didn't even fire on ether. But it's spinning fast enough I don't think, so I tried to jump it from the truck, and it didn't spin much faster.

Tomorrow, I think it's time for a new battery. As much as I hate to drop a ton of money on a battery that need just to move it across the yard. Maybe I'll steal one of the truck batteries.
