My son dumped gas in the carb while I cranked it over. It runs. It has zero rust in the cab and doors, and has a dump box. And a 255 flathead. Win.

There's plenty of rusty hulks here. Dept of Highways uses a lot of salt in the winter but not as bad as places like Ontario. One saving grace is if the vehicle was used on a farm (like this one) and didn't get a lot of on-road miles. Another thing that helps is that the wheels were not pulled off when it got parked, so it didn't settle down into the dirt.Dave1965 wrote:Just wondering how stuff can sit out like that and not rust in Canada. I thought it would be a moist climate that would promote rust.
Sounds like a rod knocking. Maybe why it was put in the bush to begin with?Mexican Kerry wrote:Re-used the tank. Used a pressure washer for an hour to blast out the inside and then re-installed. New fuel lines and a filter to collect any remaining crap. Fuel pump wouldn't work until I realized I needed to prime the system then it ran on its own. I did a lap around the yard, not used to a non-synchro'd transmission!
Bad noise in the engine I need to diagnose before I run it too much.
