Greetings,
I just picked up a 127 Hydro, the IH serial number dates it Nov '69. Now the questions. Supposedly it ran 6 months ago, gas cap is rusted onto the tank, and with a new battery nothing happens so I doubt it. The insulation on some of the wires coming out of the harness are frayed and corroded. I know I can jump the solenoid to get it to turn over, but are there any neutral safety switches I need to look for? Also is there a way to release the brakes so I can drag it onto a trailer. I'd rather not have to work on it in the dirt, on the side of the highway. Any tips, hints or check this first would be great. Other than the above it looks in great shape, I don't believe it has been restored, all the decals on the motor and the sheet metal are readable, a little faded but in really nice shape. I have a lot of experience with Allis-Chalmers B series, and IH TD series dozers, my first Cub though.
Thanks for any info in advance.
Terry
