    New to Me

    ....Speaking of horses, I checked the serial number last night and the tractor is a super 77. The engine block numbers indicate a S88 or 880, 265 CI and a little higher compression. I had to pinch myself.

    New to Me

    Check this out, went to a farm auction and couldn't pass on this vintage work horse. I saved this one from the scrapper, I found out later that he was the only one bidding against me. :D No major issues as of yet, I may have questions if there are problems. [/img]

    Yeah, a 5' section of chain link, put someting heavy on the leading edge to hold it down. I used something similar to drag out a M/C dirt track many moons ago.

    Freeze plug removal

    I have my Dad's 8N running after it "resting" for about 16 years. What a process. But now a little drip from left side, of coarse directly under the starter. I pulled the starter for a look and thin metal under the painted freeze plug, probe with a flat blade and now it's a dime sized hole...
