I acquired a TO 20 a few years ago. When I got it, they said it was running before being parked in the yard for some time. Mice had chewed all the wiring. I rewired everything enough to get it to turn over. Got it to fire a couple of times then it backfired and the starter locked up. Found the nose cone of the starter had broke in half. Removed the starter to try to find a new one. Kinda lost interest for a few years. Recently got a new starter and started working on it again. Decided to change the oil since lords when it was last changed. Pulled the drain plug and a lot of water came out. Let it drain over night. Pulled the filter and screen this morning. Thick and milky is what I found. Filter completely clogged as well as the screen.
My question is, could water have seeped in due to sitting for so long? Do I clean out the oil pan with diesel, change the oil and see what happens?
I've never owned a Ferguson, or any other tractor for that matter. Just looking for a starting point.
