Thanx george i think it will be. my neighbor sed this brand was more reliable then the ford tractors and since its sleeved, the block can always be rebuilt :). He has worked on lots of tractors in his mechanic carear i have faith it will work out. So far so good :). And if not its deffinitly worth atleast 200$ in junk price

ITS ALIVE :) this morning i ran the compression test which was good and cranked  her up. Turns out the battery i have is bad so my dad pulld me with his truck i dumped the clutch and vroom it started right up haha im so excited it ran. about 15 min of running it started to over heat like the last owner sed. After it cooled down abit i Pulled the thermostat housing off to check it and what do you know it wasnt in there and since the outside temp wasnt blistering hot it looks like il need a new radiator not to bad of a fix hopefully il order one in a few weeks and crank her up again with a new thermostat. Fingers crossed she wont over heat
Here is a video of me recording the temp guage to almost it overheating she sounds good

All right Sterling!  Way to stick with it.  You can't hardly kill an old tractor.
