    This was my dad's tractor. I just posted the video of when we pulled it to the sale. Glad to see what your doing with it !
  • Beeing persistent, calm and tolerant we can win any situation, i admire those people.
  • @TheLimbReaper
    As a barely qualified "parts changer" , I'm impressed with your persistence.

    We have an LA here that had a stuck motor when we got it. We freed it up by making an adapter to thread in place of a spark plug to hook a grease gun up and pump it up. It took some work, but it did the job!

    Quite a battle to free the old girl up. Slow and easy wins the race. Great job!

    I’m shouting at the screen…”take the rocker cover off and check for a stuck valve!” … etc 😅😂

    A ounce of persistence is worth more than a pound of talent.
  • @js-vm8zc
    This is a good example on how not to break a seized engine loose
  • @tedwpx123
    Amazing the way you did that. Farmers are the best engineers!
  • What an excellent video showing your deliberate, persistent, measured, calculated, and calm approach to resolving your problem. These can be applied to many other things in life. I appreciated that you did not fill the audio with foul language. This shows that doing so is not needed to accomplish your goal. There is much to be learned from this in addition to the rehab of the tractor. Thank you for showing, in a classy way, what can be accomplished if we choose to do so.
  • Eager to see it run. I would have probably given up on that old Case. Glad to see that you persevered.
  • @phess11
    Boy, You have immense persistence. Good job!!
  • @dmindi1773
    Nice work! Most people would have given up after a couple of days. Looking forward to seeing it run again!

    Man you got large brass ones! You definitely have more patience than I. I would have taken it a part. Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait for another.
