I Had an 856 gas almost bought, then they backed out so I found a 756 gas closer to home. Ran out to Central WI Thursday to get it. Dealer said it would only run if you held in the start button. I got it to sputter for 15 seconds on 1 cylinder, gas was pouring out of the carb. 1 bolt on the main pump was dripping oil, steering had leaked down to nothing. We pushed it on the trailer and I took off home. Dad and I messed with it Friday, determined they were running 12V to an unknown coil, and the spark plugs were toast. 6 new plugs, and a 6V coil and ballast resistor stole off the Oliver and it was running. Has a lifter tick, and many oil leaks but the brakes and TA are good. I took it to work today to blow it apart over winter. The loader is sold, the WFE, fenders, 3 point and drawbar will go on my 856 custom. Plan for the 756 is to live under my 234 picker, so it was a great parts donor for the 856. Only pics I've got right now are of it on the trailer. I'll get more this week after the big snow storm.
