Runs pretty good for a Farmall Nick  - you should be able to get a lot of work out of it. My brother and I used to fill an engine up with kerosene after draining the oil and let it run for a little bit then drain it - amazing how much dirt and sludge came out even after we had previously cleaned the oil pan.

Needs some fine tuning, but here it is on the first run after putting it back together

Great to see it running Nick.

Nice work.

Haha, I did almost end up with a JD 70 today, you would have been proud of me 

When I got my great-grandpa's H Farmall, I took the plug off the rear end and the oil (if you can call it that) just stared at me through the little hole and didn't even think about coming out. I got some out with a stick, put the plug back in and filled it with kerosene and drove it to a local threshing bee and back to get the oil loose and out.

This F-20 is new to me and will be getting some new gaskets, so it will be fun to see how dirty the oil gets this summer. I hope to make the long and slow 15 mile drive out to our little threshing bee in a couple months and plan to belt this one up to the separator...

Nick, which show is your local one?

Ah Nick, so close......some day you'll come over to the dark side!

My dream is to find a 1929 D like my great-grandpa began farming with
