Intro and the beginning of an onslaught of questions
Posted: Thu Oct 10, 2019 1:52 am
Thanks for the add.
I just purchased a very used new major, serial number 138...which puts it at '56. I'm an EE by trade, working primarily on radio towers, and to decompress from the stupidity of technology I have a horse farm and have rebuilt a couple of gravely walk behind tractors. Finally, after clearing land by hand, I bought a tractor
The second I got it in the driveway, the starter failed on me. That's in the mail, it was actually completely rusted and shredded inside. I gave up looking online and ordered a service manual for this, I'm supposed to receive it next week. So I apologize if this will answer questions that I'm asking now.
Attached is a link of a few pictures of things I looked at and said "what in the hell is this?!"

Picture 01, right below that yellow can to the top left, there's some sort of nozzle. This is on the left hand side roughly greenest the manifold.
Picture 02, the lever sticking straight up on the inboard of the clutch. What is this for?
Picture 03, the lever sticking straight up that looks like a T-wrench, what's that do?
Picture 04, the item that appears sheared of, is located on the right side in front of the fuel pump. What does it do?
Picture 05, there's something obviously missing here. I'm assuming I shouldn't see a gear from the outside of the tractor...
The guy I got it from said the 3 point will kind of slowly drop down on its own. Is this the "draft" being engaged on the pto? Does this tractor even have that?
