New here with a farm find

[Yammerhammer]

First time poster, wanted to show of my farm find. I got it from the farmer who bought it brand new in 1983. I dont have a dime in it, Someone gave me a laptop, I traded that for a vintage snomobile, which I traded for a vintage boat, which, I traded for this.... It has not ran for ten years. We put fresh fuel in it, hooked a tractor to the front and popped the clutch, after 10 feet or so, she was runnin like a top. Sat idle for about 10 min then shut it down. after the hand shake and trade, I jumped in, he pulled another 10' and she took to life again. I then started the 30 mile trek home with the wife following me in the ol Super Dodge cummins. After a bit down the road, she quit just as if I turned the key off. I went ahead, hook up the chain and drug it the rest of the way home. Got home, put fresh batteries in it just to find the starter didnt want to function. I removed the starter and bench tested to find it engaging but not spinning. Guess Im on the prowl for a used starter now....

She is a little rough but a good canidate to make a decent pick up. My plans, as of now are to keep the 6.2 which ran really good until the starter went out yesterday. I was hoping to add a 2-1/2 body lift and put a stock bed back on it in addition to all the long list of parts it will need....
