Not quite metalworking but ...

   I guess spinnin' wrenches is metalwork of a sort . And I'll be doing some over the next few days/weeks . Weather permitting I'll be picking up a new to me tractor ... It's a Yanmar YM1500D , a 'compact tractor" that's still small enough to get into the woods to drag logs out for firewood . It's powered by a 2 cylinder diesel motor and comes equipped with a Bush Hog branded finish mower deck . It's been sitting for several years , but the motor turns over by hand and it has compression so it shouldn't be that hard to get it going . Oil on the dipstick is clean and shows no sign of water in the crankcase , but the fuel tank has some water , probably from condensation . Get the fuel system sorted out and change fluids and filters is where I plan to start .
