Thoughts if bring back to life a powershift that has sat

[RGMartin]

I drug home a very early 1070 today(8653...), Iron nose, decent rubber, straight tin, open station, bucket seat, good rubber trim on dash, original paint, 4200 hours from second owner(of 20+ years).

Downside, it has been sitting for at least 5 years, maybe 10, outside. Story was it had a fuel issue, owner had the injector pump rebuilt and never reinstalled it. Sat in his side yard, his wife planted flowers around it. Then she got tired of it.

The plan is to pull the heads and pan to look inside the engine. Probably do an inframe unless the crank has issues.

What are the chances of the PS working if I put a fresh engine in front of it?

I would change the filters at least. Son bought a 1070 that sat about 12 years and the filters were soggy and about to break apart. Tractor works good. Some one with more knowledge can tell you more . WE topped the fluids off and put in new batts and primed the fuel system and it ran like it had just been shut off.

I would think chances are pretty good, if you don't have 10gals. of water drained out before any tranny oil appears. You will more than likely have to do a thourough cleaning of the pilots in the PS valve though.
