Well, we did the clutch and stuff over the winter and honestly I don't remember, but I gotta think we put grease on there. My brother-in-law is a real motor head and I think we would've....in fact I can remember him doing it now.

I will check my manual and see if there's a clutch adjustment procedure. I haven't had the tractor at my place to really look it over and there's a LOT to look over....hydraulic pump and lines, a cylinder, how the gear pattern works, the implement lifter thingy.....I have quite a project on my hands.

The fuel was an experiment that has been done before, I guess. Basically, as I understand it, you fill a big drum with wood chips and apply heat to the bottom. There is an off-gas that can be blown or &quot;pumped&quot; into an engine that is combustible. Supposedly they did some of this during WWII or something. He made a very crude model and actually had the motor running, throttling up and down and everything. I don't think it's commercially viable, but he proved that he could do it. He's quite a tinkerer and a very smart guy.

And, yes! I was having fun. My wife took the pics. When I saw that first one, I realized that not everyone would understand my look of joy and excitement. Ha ha. I'm easily amused. The thing putts along like a swiss watch....well, kind of. I'm basically going to use it to drag some kind of discer or harrow to groom my small motocross track, maybe drag some logs or other types of drags. It'd  be fun to get some implements for it at some point. I'm just totally new to this tractor thing. I'm excited, though!
