I picked up this old horse at a local auction in September, 2006. It ran, but would pull itself up to full throttle, and the only way I could pull it back down is by manually pulling on the linkage between the carb and governor. A little work on the linkages, and she runs good. In the picture, I'm using it to spread manure in our garden. It still needs a little work to the distributor, as the shaft wobbles slightly, giving the tractor a small chronic stutter. Other than that, it's pretty straight, and I love the sound when it's under load! Submitted by Lyndon, from AB
