Got the ole rust bucket home

Aint much to look at, but the seat is the only thing missing and at 20 bucks I couldnt pass on it.

Good deal....is that a lift on the back?

Yes thats some kind of lift. I think the linkage from the handle is missing though. Havent really checked it out yet. I do know the rear end is good on this one unlike the money pit Homelite.

Ok I had to go take a look at it and it does work, but thats about the only thing that does. It set in a barn with a leaking roof for twenty years and everything is rusted solid. The steering is even rusted solid.

Take your time and loosen everything up.....The last Ford I got, the carb throttle plate was seized solid....It took a week of soaking and boiling it in hot water and vinegar, but it loosened up.....Good luck with it

I got a full gallon of PB Blaster in the garage. That'll loosen it up.

looks like a nice project !!! yeah some time soaking things will free up!!

Another good trick is trans fluid mixed with acetone that will get things moving!!!! ??? what happened to the Edit key on the page its impossible to change things

I bet if we all 'splained, real slow and clear, how to air those tires up, we just might be able to talk JD through it.
