Farmall From Cherokee Nation

Some time ago, I had tried to buy this 53 model Farmall Cub from an 84 year old gentleman who lives in the Cherokee Nation. He finally called and said it was mine.  The Cub had not run since 2001 so buying it was a gamble.   I worked on it in the shade of the shop.  Got it running in only a day.  I set the points and bought a coil.  But right away I noticed it had zero oil pressure.  If I had let it run long, it would have ruined the motor.  There was a vacuum in the oil pump.  Finally, got it humming like an old sweet tune!
