Finally got a chance to work on the 112. Not sure how long she's been setting, but buffed the points on the pony, bled the fuel system and the the main engine roared to life. Purred like a kitten (pun intended). Even did a little road work too. Controls all worked like they were supposed to. Need to put on a new brake line and give her a bath. Really pleased c

That frame is actually an M4 high speed tractor. It had a yarder on it! Here's a picture of my baby

Looks great!! That will be handy.

And half tracks are about as cool as it gets. Is that the one I've seen at Brooks?

Hey have a question, had the grader running then came back to start it and no fire on the pony. . I've experienced ths on my D2 after she sits all winter. Is there any way to make sure the points don't oxidize? I'd like to be able to use her durn the winter in case of snow and not have to buff the points every time.

Thanks Don G.

Is it setting outside? Try wrapping the mag in plastic or install a rubber flap to keep the humidity off. Not sure it will cure it but it works on lots of mags in the old tractor world.
