Ontheback9!

Before retiring after 50 years of work in the legal field, I decided to do something I'd never done before. I have no mechanical skills and my "toolbox" included a hammer, some pliers, some screwdrivers, and a plastic peanut butter jar filled with nails, screws, bolts and other scrap. So, for my new life challenge, I bought a broken-down 1960 Farmall Cub tractor and had it hauled down from Union City to Memphis, where I live. I had to push it off the flatbed and into the backyard as it didn't start and was so rusty that my wife made me get a tetanus shot before starting on my new career as a tractor repairman. Almost two years later, I have a little Farmall Cub that starts most of the time (thanks to keeping it on a drip and using a portable charger) and, once running, has enough power to pull an old Mott mower plus, as needed, a plow, disk, cultivator, and drag harrow. I learned what I needed to know from forum posts (although most of the time, the old tractor pros and collectors enjoyed making fun of me), YouTube videos, a 60-year-old, ripped-up operator's manual, and pestering the folks at the local Auto Zone, Tractor Supply, and John Deere stores and small-engine repair shops. Whoever invented these old Farmalls were geniuses because they designed a machine that even a mechanical moron like me can take apart, fix, and put back together (assuming you have two years to get it all done). My z930m, however, has me stumped at this point, so I ventured onto the LawnWorld site for some help.
