Tractor update

While at the camp, I did get to spend a bit of time working on Little Red.  Not as much as I would have liked, but still made a bit of progress.

I spent some time taking the hood off.  I figured it would be necessary so that I could more easily get to everything.

Since the engine itself is still seized up, I figured it would be worthwhile to take the head off.  I was in for a surprise when I took some of the bolts off.  A strange colored liquid started coming out.

I did get all of them out.  Here is what it looks like:

I was expecting some liquid as I had poured a bunch of Kroil down the spark plugs, but Kroil is not green.

No idea what this stuff is.  One of my friends suggested that it might be anti-freeze?

I’m hoping that I will have more time to work on her during my next trip.  I had to leave with her all covered back up.  Thankfully, I did gain an additional gear-head friend that said he’d help 🙂

Trip to Camp

We spent a couple weeks up at the camp during the beginning of July.  Time was spent working on the trails…

 

Building a tree house for the kids…

With their help of course…

Enjoying nature…

(Including a trip to Lake Superior!)

And enjoying food…
