is it fixable or do you need parts, parked 10 yrs after loader connect pins broke

[Outakuntrol]

After I took the hose to it, dang tractor looked pretty good. I changed out fuel and filter. The ignition was switch was out. So I pulled the dash and wired it back up. I found the glow plug indicator. Then I finished the other five connection I gambled. Heated the glow then tried to turn it over. Nothing, maybe a safety switch. It was, after trying several levers I pushed the clutch in and it engaged the starter, with the key in the run position. So I need to swap a couple of wires on the ignition and then be good to go. I did turn it over enough to get the oil pressure up and from the exhaust what sounded like great compression. That is where I'm at. So I hope to be able get on it again this afternoon after dealing with the kid and their FFA Pig fair projects. The Future Farmers of America has taught them some great responsibility and would recommend that anyone with teens try to get them involved in their local Ag Class. I will let you know how it goes this afternoon. Thanks everyone

Sounds like you are doing good. This is one thing I forgot to tell you. You have to push the clutch in before it will start. This is a safety so you don't stand on the ground and start it in gear. Another thing is after sitting that long you may have to clean up the electrical conection and grease them with die electric grease. If you need to use starting fluid use WD 40 as it is not as hard on the engine. If I have to use it I never use the glow plugs when using it because I don't want a BIG BANG. I have seen it done on equit. worth hundreds of thousands dollars and the results are not good. I agree with you on the kids any time you can get involved with them is a big plus. I was a 4 H leader for 12 years and I loved every min of it. When I retired and moved I did not do it anymore. I go back down state and many of these young people when I see them will talk about things we did when they were in 4 H. It gives me a great sense of pride knowing that they still remember some of the things we did.

Ivan your right. I feel proud when the local kids remember and talk baseball and always have great laughs at the crazy stuff I did. They all still great respect and memories. Living in a small mt town. Had to get creative to keep them entertained. I'm glad it was before they all got these phones. Today we have our local 4H are bringing their Lambs for a weigh I'm. I put in livestock scale here for all to use, befit the weigh in involved a 50 mile trip one way to the school farm.
Il like the clutch info, to funny, I'm anxious to try to start. I'll be back Thanks, AL

Sounds like you're almost there. I will guess that bleeding the fuel system will be key to getting it started at this point.....if it was running good before, it should start pretty easily with new fuel and a good battery.

Where do i begin. She's a runner. She idles like new. Revs right up no hesitation no smoke, go figure. Clutch is tight, moved forward and reverse. The PTO turns both ditrctions. No need for WD40 or anything. Bled the fuel lines and pumped her up, the glow plug indicator glowed, throttle wide open, turn the engine over three times and she roard to life, died once, throttle halfway, turned it over again and she idled, ran and checked gauges, alls well, shut it down and started again and again. Just like nothing was ever wrong. Headlights work even blinkers. Found one problem, left tailight, bulb is burned out. Got a video need to edit it a little. Pretty emotional evening, this just don't happen to us. The last year has been rough here, everyone that responded and helped me to get this far, i will be forever grateful and can only say, Thanks. My wife, after a year of cancer treatments, not only smiled again but downright laughed at me for acting like a big ol kid with a new toy. Thanks you guys, you'll never know how much you really helped. I get pics posted

That's exciting news, I'm really glad it didn't get hauled off for scrap. Good job getting it back to running!

Hey, way to go!

I'm glad you had some fun enter your life at this time.

As to the bell housing, I would see if you could get a local welder to close those holes. I would not try to get it to hold the loader bracket but follow the advice of the welder. I think you / he could fab a different way to connect the loader bracket that involves using the frame for and aft of the bell housing with a plate in between.

On the other hand, with the rear bulb burned out, you better get rid of it. I'll take it off your hands. wink, wink.
