I couldn't pass it up. It has been sitting 2 years in the yard of a repair shop. The steering had failed and the teeth were sheared off of the comp. nut. Also, the arm on the LH steering knuckle has come loose sometime and it was welded and failed (I can't believe someone did this). I need to sort that out. It was a bear to load without being able to steer the front wheels. Here are some pictures:

Since the tractor has sat for 2 years and I was told it ran when they parked it, how should I approach starting the engine:
- the fuel tank is off and drained because of the steering gear removal
- Do I need to flush the fuel lines?
- Change the fuel filter
- Do I pull the glow plugs and check to see if they glow
- Turn the engine over by hand before I start it
- Change the engine oil
- The exhaust is in the up position and has had a cup on it, so I don't think any water got into the exhaust side.
Any suggestions on the engine or hydro before I try them out would be appreciated.
John
