Well it's done, sort of, all except what I did after the rain the first time. The old JD-B that MH resurrected still has some bugs. The first cultivation it was electrical problems. On the second time it was problems with the gas.
Apparently the ethanol loosened rust is the tank, the tractor had stood unused for years, and the rust blocked the fuel filter. Yes, yes I know, 1950 JD B's don't typically have fuel filters. But it's a good thing that MH added one or the carburetor would have been in trouble. So, every few rounds I had to take the filter off and blow it out always in the hope that this time would be the last.
Finally I finished most of the field. After I got back to the garage I discovered the filter was again almost blocked. MH gave me a larger filter which is now installed awaiting the next cultivation attempt. Living in hope........
