[AT] Supervision

[Dean VP]

Tyler,

I didn't go into all the details because it would have made the message too long.  Yes I did have to
clean up the carburetor but I didn't have to remove the steel balls.  The tank did not have a bunch of
crap in it except that it was rusted out above about the 3 gallon area. I drained it first, cleaned
the sediment bowl and then put new gas in and found out it leaked after about 3 gallons. That has
since been fixed.  The tractor ran remarkably good when it first started but one could tell that some
of the rings might be stuck and that a valve was sticking occasional. After getting the tractor up to
temperature(covered the grill) and pulling it hard for a while everything cleaned up. I've never had
the engine apart.  I don't know how ugly it really is inside but it runs good and doesn't blow blue or
black smoke out the chimney. It works good as a loader tractor for loading heavy stuff off/on to an
equipment trailer. It even handled a model 825 3 bottom roll-over plow.  They are really heavy.  One
of the reasons I wanted this particular 60 is it has a Behlen aftermarket power steering unit on it
with a Behlen governor driven live hydraulic pump on it .  There are times when I thing the power
steering works better than JD's version. 
 The only thing bad about the Behlen unit is, it is uglier than sin.

Hi Dean,
 Didn't you have to clean the carb?
 You'd think there'd be a ton of crap in the tank, carb, and sediment bowl.
 Did it run decent after you switched the wires around?
 Take Care,
