Rickey got his Farmall tractor to run!!
So Rickey got an old Farmall Cub tractor last week (1956 to be exact!). At the time it was not running and needed some work. So our neighbor redid the carburetor in hopes that was the only work it needed. Well, that didn't work so they worked on it all day on Saturday. ALL. DAY. LONG. Finally they decided the problem was beyond their expertise and called it a night around 5:30. Sunday, Rickey got Justin Bishop to look at it to see if the problem was something he could fix. The two of them tinkered on the tractor for about an hour and still no luck. Justin went home, researched a little, and gave Rickey some instructions on how to reset the timing. (I have absolutely no idea what "resetting the timing" means!) After Rickey got home from work on Monday he went about resetting the timing... Low and behold it worked!! The tractor ran!! And it didn't smoke, which is a very good sign!! :) So of course, I ran out and took a video and a few pictures!! :)
Now Levi has a real Farmall to match his little ones in his room!!! :)
It's not the prettiest but Rickey likes it and that is all that matters!! :) (Levi will like it later!!) ;)
