[AT] New toy

[David Myers]

I know it's not a 'real' tractor but a Kincade
followed me home last Friday.  I've seen it for sale a
few times in the past but never made time to look at
it.  So it was there calling to me while I was running
to look at a trailer with my buddy Larry.  I stopped
to look with a max price in mind and danged if the
price listed wasn't less (not quite free but close
enough).  So with some grunting, in the pick-up it
went.  
Sunday my youngest son and I did some serious looking,
penetrant spraying, and opened a  side cover of
obvious recent (within 20 years or so) manufactor. 
Voila, no crank!  Looked it up in one of my books and
there should also be a flywheel and shroud.  Well, the
carb is there (bad but at least I know what it takes)
and so is the mag.  Only other thing missing is the
wood handles.  Everything is stuck but I don't think
it's real tight, should loosen up fairly easily.  
I know, I know, as if I need another project!  But
really, it looked at me with those big eyes (oh, yeah,
stop, reverse that <g>).  
One good thing about all my garden tractors (mostly
walk behinds) is they don't take up much space in the
barn.  Like I said before, I like 'em all, big and
small.
Oh, according to my book this tractor is from the 20's
which makes it my oldest toy.
