100 acres is a lot of maintenance for 2 aging folks already, but its always been worth the effort and the money pit for the most part.
Nice tractor.
Trying to get my 165 back together in the next few evenings, had hell finding someone that would braze a leak in the fuel tank... I was not brave enough. LOL
Next time you have that problem just put the neck of the tank over the exhaust pipe of something handy and run exhaust fume through it for ten or fifteen minutes. Totally neatralizes any dangerous fumes. Have welded LOTS of them. My rule of thumb is to let it cook until it is too warm to touch comfortably.
