Went out to Dads today to try and load the 4 wheeler. I bought it new in 1999, dad enjoyed riding around his place so well on it I left it out there the last 20 years.
It’s been setting a good 3 years, but, thought I’d try and see if I could get it to run. Drained the gas tank and put fresh gas in it, primed the carburetor, hooked up the jump box and it only rolled over about 8 times and fired up just as though it was running yesterday. 2 flat tires but it still pulled up on the trailer on its own power. Took it home and put a new battery in it, pressure washed it and it looked much better. Rode it around the yard some and it’s just like it was all them years ago.
Looked Dads John Deere crawler over while I was there too. Been so long I couldn’t remember what model it is, but I’m sure it’s a 40C with 5 rollers on the undercarriage. It was a good running little crawler, just needs some tlc along with attention to one of the cutting clutches. Project for another day here in the future…

I almost parted ways with my 2010 Rancher ES when it had a starter, battery and shift solenoid quit almost simultaneously with a rodent/harness issue.
Id get $500 for it not running, so $900 or so in repairs was better than $7k or so to replace.CAXPT, IH Truck Guy, beastr123 and 11 others Thank this. -
