    It's amazing how well things work when you install parts correctly. Glad you are back and hitting on all cylinders. It looks as if you might be looking for another parts tractor. That one runs too smooth and operates to easy to be a parts tractor. Thanks for sharing....

    Now you have a conundrum. You better find another parts donor tractor. It would be a crying shame to part this old beauty out. HHH, what a fitting name for these series of tractor videos and from Minnesota too!

I just found out yesterday that treatments are starting Tuesday morning and have 35 of them. Hopefully with the holidays that January 11th will be the last one and start getting back to healthy. Thanks again and can’t wait for the next video!

    Buddy of mine recently picked up a "for parts" M602 MM. It turned over when he was winching it up on the trailer and so he decided to try starting it when he got it home. It popped right off and ran better than the one he already had and almost everything worked. Now he has two project tractors and is hunting for another 602 parts machine.

    • @kenhawkins1033
      @kenhawkins1033 9 месяцев назад +1

      Is this a common occurrence? I had a similar experience with my 1952 W6. I lifted the rocker cover. Looked great! Dropped the oil pan and, to be honest, I've found uglier messed and the bottom of a bowl of truckstop chili. I just need to remedy some sloppy steering linkage and I've got a workhorse. I ended up getting a 1936 F12 for a project.
