1958 Ford 641… It Lives!

[Steve in IL]

Dad’s old 641 has been sitting in the back of the barn for about 2 years. Took the 14 year old 6 volt battery home, and put in on intermittent charge for about a week. Hooked it up today… Turned it over a bit with the ignition off, until it had some oil pressure… Then turned on the key, and sprayed some gas in the carburetor, and it fired right up! Man, they don’t make ‘em like that anymore!

Those are very handy tractors.
