[AT] Farmall B hydraulic

[Cecil Bearden]

There is room to run a power steering pump off of the fan belt along 
with the alternator that has been installed.  I probably will go the 
front pump route for handling a hyd sickle mower, or other implements.  
However, it will be a while before this one is going.  It looks like 
this flood was only the last one it was in, the engine is stuck pretty 
good.  I spent a couple of hours draining the fluids out and blowing air 
in the spark plug holes to get the water out.  It had about 4 gal in the 
crankcase, and 2 gallons in the transmission.  The final drives have to 
have the lower pans removed to drain them.  but I got a gallon out of 
each one.  The clutch appears to be silted in pretty bad and somewhat 
stuck.  I took the manifold off and poured Marvel Mystery Oil on each 
plug hole and each intake and exhaust port.  I is now sitting until I 
can get a horse trailer rebuilt for a client and get my 2 4-wheelers 
rebuilt.  Have to completely rebuild both engines.  Hopefully I can get 
a trade made for some rear tires also.  It looks like the anti-freeze is 
still there.  It must be heavier than water.  I also drained over 5 
gallons of water out of the gas tank.
