Thanks to everyone for your help a month ago when I posted about my 6060. Today is the day it arrives in Greeneville, TN from PA. I had to wait until the trucking company had another load to bring this direction before I could get it.
The owner of the trucking company is also the son of the farmer who owned the tractor that I am being gifted. He happens to be the last guy to drive the tractor so he knows quite a bit about it. One of the things he told me was that he thinks that if we can get it hand cranked it will run. But, the most important things he told me was (besides no fuel to engine):
1. It has been about 5 years since it ran. The farmer made it sound like it had been longer, but that may have been my assumption, because in my mind, who puts a perfectly good AC in a junk pile? And you have to remember, I haven't put my hind end on that exact tractor in 27 years!
2. It has no seat.
3. Tires are good!
4. It has no side panels. This is just a cosmetic issue, as I intend to put this machine to work. However, it would be nice to make this tractor look spiffy again. Does anyone know where I can get side panels for a 6060? If not, would it be possible to have them fabricated? They are normally fiberglass, however, maybe I can have them made out of sheet metal? Also, best place to buy a seat for it? I've got a project on my hands and I'm sure I will be reaching out for more insight, but I need to use this thing soon, so trying to get a jump on things.
Pics to follow once i take delivery.
Thanks in advance!
