Super A from the high desert to the seashore

The ol' tractor sat for several months, but started right up when it was loaded. When I started it to get it off the trailer, it smoked for a bit at idle, blue smoke, like a light blow by, then cleared up.

I had trouble keeping it running, it surged some then a belt broke and I had to shut it off.

I'll be getting a service and owner's manual, but in the mean time, anybody got any suggestions about what to do?

I figure that all the fluids get changed, air cleaner serviced, any other filters that I can find get changed as well. Plugs and points get a good look, new belts and hoses, grease every zerk that I can find, clean the engine, etc.

I think the timing would be a little different at this altitude, something on the range of 4000 feet of altitude difference, but I'm not sure about that.

By the way, it came with a set of plows that are set opposite of each other, single big colter, so that you can plow with one, then turn around and plow with the other?????

Also has a very banged up 7 foot sickle bar mower. Did have the original disk, that was given away before we got there. Sigh.

Anyway, I've got a fun little project for the summer, fixing and painting. I'll let you know how it goes.

Tonight, I took off the hood and got the old belts off, took off the muffler and the air cleaner, which was pretty gunked up.

I think that a general overall cleaning will do a world of good. With all the fluids fresh, I'll see how she fires up and runs.

There is a nice little drip from the sediment bowl area, so it may be sucking a little air, too.

Thanks again.
