History of this tractor to me,
........ Well where do we start.
The loader was built by your great uncle Mike (the welder in the family)
The blade from the plow was bought from a guy in Lydia who had it on his Jeep.
The decals on the tank are incorrect, your Grandpa made sure I knew that when I was quite young.
Dad (your grandpa) removed the side panels to work on the starter back in the early 80's, he left them off to let Allis breath a little better.
Around the same time we (Jim Trecker, Dad, Eric,Me) swapped out her engine with a Gleaner combine. Uncle Eric has a pretty exciting story about that Gleaner and a small house rat.
If you don't make sure you remove the brake lock it will stay on. There were plenty of time Dad (stopped) me asking "Is the brake on!"...and yes it was. Sorry Dad
a couple brake replacements later.
The gas gauge is incorrect, that is all you need to know. Papa has a pretty good yard stick process in which he can tell you approx when she will start to sputter.
If the battery is weak park it under the tree. The one where the Fox had her den.
Pop the clutch.
I have started far more tractors via the clutch than the starter.
That should be enough for now.
Until next time.
