Today has been anticipated since we had the tractor delivered. Since the tractor got delivered late last Friday, I didn't have time to really check it out. I was able to take the day and get familiar with the tractor from a mechanical standpoint
I found the serial number and model number. With this information I now know its a 1956 Ford 850 tractor. I had planned to change all the fluids and spark plugs today. Before I could begin I had to pick up parts, the Tractor Supply Sotore in Porter had the gear oil I needed and the Napa store in Cleveland had the oil filter and plugs. Unfortunately the plugs wouldn't arrive until after noon.
I crawled around the tractor, located all drsin plugs, fill points and inspection points. I made sure I had sll the tools needed before starting. First job up would be oil change and filter replacement. This took longer than ecpected but after draining and closing things up it was alredy noon and time to go pick up plugs and hsve some lunch.
I get back from lunch add the new oil and also check the air intake, the air filter requires oil so figure I'd fill it up. After inspection I notice the sir intake pipe is clogged with dirt, so I remove it and clesr it and reinstall.
By now its 3:30 and I don't think I will have time to change the transmissiin, hydraulic and rear end fluids, so I pack up and call it a day. I was sure hoping to get more done thsn I did, but there's always tomorrow.
