| Picked up a new ride today. We recently moved onto an acreage and I thought this was a fitting addition. It is a 1945 McCormick-Deering Farmall M. It is mostly a showpiece but is capable of doing some chores. | |

| Nope! I had to get some of the old guys at the auction to show me how to start it and explain how to operate it. Yesterday I started it up and was about to back it off the trailer and stalled it and couldn't get it restarted (does that count as hit and miss?) so it is still stilling on the trailer. ahh well, will take another stab at it today. | |

| Wow Paper! Lmao Press the clutch in and push in the deisel knob and turn it over. That's how mine at work operates. We use them all the time. When you want to shut it off (emergency) just pull the gas levor. If yours is set up with a knob? Nice ride though!! You can use it to cut the grass ... get you a 70" blade! | |

| well I thought maybe the plugs were fouled (gasoline engine) so I ordered a new set, discovered I dont have the socket to replace them, went out and turned over the tractor and it fired right up! WOOT!
