Great show as per usual, Milt. Brings back a lot of memories as I spent a lot of hours on our 22-36, which had exactly the same layout. There were a few differences here and there, for example on ours dad had disconnected the spark advance/retard lever and the cap on the mag was wired (as in "haywire") at a set advance with the explicit warning to make sure to engage the little spring loaded retard dog on the mag before cranking the engine. When I first started driving that one I had to stand on a one gallon paint can to make myself tall enough to lift the crank over the top. The other difference was that the 22-36 had a water pump driven by a veebelt rather than just the flat belt driving the fan for cooling like your 15-30 has.
Having some experience in collecting old iron this tractor is in amazing shape. Complete with mag and carburetor and looks like good plugs. Although seized it should be easy to get started.

Nice to get it in a safe place away from the torch not saying they would but today people think stuff is junk so send it to the scrap yard thanks Milt
