    So there's been a fly in here for like 3 weeks.

    I don't know how long flies live, but I thought he'd have died of old age.

    He's very agile.

    He's had 25 or 30 times as many chances to get out of the truck as he did to get in.

    Well.........he just F DIED.:cat::hello1:

    New injectors?

    Can you get those for a tractor that old?

    Yeah I tried pushing this clutch down by hand. Not an easy thing. Tho this one you select the gear you want to work in. Then the handle on the dash decides if your going forward or reverse.

    Old injectors. I spoke to several injector shops. These are rebuildable. No point to replacing them. The common thought is... If the clag clears before 5 mins? Leave them alone. Its normal since the tractor doesnt have a turbo. No it isnt worth it to install one for me either. I will live with the clag at startup (when the engine is cold)

    In that case, we need to hear it run. I like engine music. :)

    Me too! I would like to hear it run as well. Tho I really need it out of the garage as I need to work on the mower this winter.
    A interresting feature I didnt know this tractor had. It has a two speed PTO. Normally tractors only turn at 540RPM for the pto. I was working on the tractor a few days ago and noted the lever said.... Ground-Neutral-Engine. Ground being the 540, apparently it will run the same speed as the engine (if I wanted). The high end is good for things like saws or snowblowers.

    Two things. We’re not far apart on a/c and sleeping when it’s cold. My wife is a knitter so I got special socks and beanie for those cold nights. I’m good with no heat etc down to about 20°. During the pandemic she started using the sewing machine and has gone bat #### crazy on making me quilt. It’s beautiful. But it turns out too nice for me. So she’s making another that will designed for truck use. I’m guessing it will be done by June. LOL.
