[AT] Cub

[joehardy at epix.net]

 Dennis, I was so excited about your message about you hearing it running for 1st time. Can't wait until weather breaks enough so I can tow my MM335 from under the covers outside into my new garage so I can have the same experiences that you are having. Tonight wind chill at 0 degrees and possibly more snow coming Sunday nite into Monday here in N.E. PA. Joe Hardisky  Ryman Farm, Dallas, PA

 Today is a good tractor day. I got the Cub running today that I got from Phil Auten some months ago. Worked on it little by little when I had a little time. To start it I had to redo timing 180, make a temporary gas tank because original was full of crude from setting too long, and have the starter rebuilt - it had 1 coil shorted. Then just a little tinkering and it started.
Was a bit concerned, because I started it dry and I started hearing some knock. Shit it off, put a little water in it, then connected the top fill between the head and the radiator, topped off the coolant, and started it again. Have not heard that knock again. It was not idling down, and running at a faster idle than I like, but for the first run in several years, that is not too bad.
Now I can work on other things like idle, gas tank, generator pulleys, etc. Also need to start on the Alice C that is locked up. Just happy it is running.
