Today was a Taste Better than had been. Got to where could get the engine started, Vid is loading to YT and will be awhile.
Engine sounds SAWEEEET!!!!!! Oil pressure over 80# cold, with Dr Sh still down put it in 3rd gear and YES the Speedo DOES Function! Air will not build above 90# so have to look into that.

Engine brake functioned, NO ECM alarms just the PB Brake Bressure warning. Ran for ten minutes and shut it down to eat a bite, more detail work to accomplish in between.

Might just be a worry wart here but I would get that double box end wrench off the top of the batteries before it has a chance to short something out!
Otherwise sounds good and the oil pressure sure looks good, actually hope it drops a little bit once oil is warmed up!

Dmiller, could not be happier for you hearing that girl run! Great job working through everything, personally that must feel like a big win. Maybe you should crack open a bottle of something dark and have a toast to you and the old girl!

Oil pressure once closer to NOPNOT was pretty well below 90 even at top end, never dropped below 65/70 on the low end. I am QUITE satisfied. Wrench was a JIC should starter hang or have something electrical run amok, it was moved off where was situated by N Cable. Was pretty well determined was GOING to Have it running before Groundhog Day, No Repeats again HERE!!!!

Long road NO Miles!!!
Still correcting all the little sags and deficits, brackets corroded away, small strap retainers wiring fixes, fuel return cross connect valve decided to start leaking yesterday. Today will clean up some in the shop, supposed to get evil wintry mix come Wednesday and Thursday so will try to get the old Allis farm tractor inside a WARM building, it does NOT appreciate Cold.
