First time tractor owner.

[Dead555]

Hi,
Picked up a Ford 340 Industrial w/ loader last week. 3 cylinder diesal, has hydraulic hook-up at rear that looks non-stock. Seems to be in pretty good shape for it's age. Haven't been able to find much on internet, just Tractordata.com. Did find an owners manual on e-bay, should be here any day.
Bought a cabin in woods in central Wisconsin, long drive-way that's in bad shape. Intend to re-do driveway and keep snow off drive in winter. Will come in handy for alot of projects.
Hope I don't p.o. too many people asking Newbie questions.
Nice to find your site/group, seems perfect for me.

Got her cleaned up and greased this weekend. Filled up w/ fuel and moved some dirt. The fuel cap leaks diesal, wiped up spill when I was done. Parked for the week, checked for leaks, dry as a bone! Nice suprise. Will be replacing the cap when I find one. Tractor ran great, has alot so Snot.
Only problem is I have sand...... Got stuck once, lifted out w/ loader, second time, alittle too deep. Got shovel and some planks, out in about 15 minutes, good lesson.
