I dragged home another yard ornament - WD-45 serial number 181809. The engine is stuck, but it appears to be complete minus the fill neck and dipstick for the hydraulics/belt pulley reservoir. The rear tires are decent and one rear rim is good. It looks like someone put in a new radiator or had one serviced and repainted.

When I saw the tractor I assumed that someone put an earlier 3 bolt wide front on it later in its life, but I looked at the parts book and AC didn't change to the 4 bolt WFE until SN 186413.

I hope to get time to pull plugs, valve cover, etc. and maybe dump some diesel in the cylinders and let it sit. The hand crank mechanism is busted where it engages the front crank pulley and I assume that's from someone whomping on it trying to break it loose. I just think the tractor is too complete to part it out. Am I dumb? Probably yes.
