Will it Start? So I need a swather. Versatile 400, Owatonna 2 swathers.

The broadleaves have become too abundant for the combine. The plan is to use a swather to cut and dry the radishes. The 400 Versatile was parked due to a broken governor, so we start by changing by out. Will it start after the governor is changed out? Are we going to be able to harvest the radish?
Thanks for watching.

One weakness on these( if you get it and running), the front axles are known to break on occasion, but more often the inner axle bearings go out, (keep one handy). Don't over inflate the tires and that will minimize those issues, inflate according to book... Other than that they are a real cutting machine if running right...

Owatona had a factory in MITCHELL SD back in the 70s.
