Hi all. I'm a newbie and thought I'd introduce myself. I just upgraded my 1110 mower to a real 1970 model 147 tractor (my first) and have already found this forum invaluable. SWMBO doesn't understand why I'd want something nearly as old as I am instead of something pretty and newer, but I know you all do.
She really runs well and looks pretty good for her age (the tractor, that is). Since I don't know what the previous owner has/hasn't done, what do you suggest I do for maintenance to start? I'm thinking oil and tranny fluid change along with filters, an air filter change, spark plug change. Anything else you'd recommend? Also, since she was made in the days of leaded gas, should I use any kind of additive? Any other hints, tips, ideas, etc. for this newbie?
Thanks,
Chip Stewart
