1957 Gard'n Mast'r Tractor, Parked for Decades!

This tractor is a 1957 Gard'n Mast'r built by Garden All, powered by a Briggs and Stratton series 23 9hp engine (made in December of 1956). My Dad bought it in the early 60's and used it to help build the family home, and plowed the driveway with it for many years. I used it in the '80's for tractor pulling in the 4-H club, with my heaviest pull dragging 5400 lbs on a skid. My Dad used it a bit in the 90's, and then its pretty much been sitting ever since. In this video I evict the mice that have been living in it, and try to get it running again. One note, the rear tire I bought says Agstar 8-16 on the side, but it was called Ag-Dura 1630 on the listing where I bought it with no mention of the Agstar name.
