Fred, let me know if it's ok for Norm and me to come down and start your tractor next Saturday. We can show you the technique so when a prospective buyer comes along, you can start it for him (in theory, the buyer should know how to start it but there's lots of keen folks that don't have the requisite knowledge.

Cheers,

That would be awesome. Saturday the 23rd? I'll make sure to be here. I'm going to get the serial number in a little bit.

Sounds good Fred, we'll be in my blue pickup. Do you have a generator available in case we need to run the compressor? If not, no worries.
Folks, what spark plugs and condensor does the pony take that I can pick up from a generic auto store?

Let me know if you need address or anything from me. I do have to run to work for a couple hours on Saturday but one of my good buddies Lester will be here.

Or if I can help with supplies, and let me know how we can compensate you - Thank you!

One of the guys from Heavy Equipment Forums (Mother Deuce) was interested in coming up to help, too... but said I was in better hands with ya'll. He's still interested in coming up though to to see the machine come to life and take some photos in the area. When should I tell him you'll be around and for how long, so he can plan his trip?

They don't have it in stock, but Tyler said he'll get 15 feet of it for tomorrow just so he has some there. I can call him back if that's not enough, and can pick it up if it's easier. I'd like to contribute in any way I can!
