Is the RC transmission the same as an other model tractors? Possibly a WC? the tractor is 1939, can a starter be hooked on the tractor,I dident see a starter hole. Any advice would be great.
Thanks,

The RC transmission is the same as a WC. Only a few differences between an RC and WC. Engine is the most obvious one, then, because of less power, the differential gears are different, to give slower speeds, and the belt pulley is smaller, identical to a B or C. I have two RC's, both have a starter hole (casting is the same as a WC), one had a starter, the other did not, although the flywheel has a ring gear on it. Your starter hole may have a pressed steel cover in it.

I just brought it home last night. Traded for it from second owners son. Their family bought it a year old in 1940 to replace their dispised Fordson. Which side is the starter whole on? I havent had it running yet. It's been inside drained of gas and coolesnt for about ten years. The Transmission sometimes gets stuck in two gears. I know of a WC in a junkyard I may buy for the transmission parts and part out the rest.

The starter hole is dead center on top the bell housing. Befor you rip into the transmission, replace the pin on the shifter or get a over size one. Even a good shifter needs to be shifted cleanly and don't cut the cornors of the shift pattern. Mike

Tom Foss has done a lot of research and hands on work with RC's. There are more than just a few differences including a made for RC only flywheel and radiator which is longer than a B/C one. I've seen many of these differences on my machine.

At the bottom is a link to Tom's site with loads of pics.
Hope this helps, Joe

By the way, post a pic with serial number. Thanks

I do have a ring gear! Which, is a big relief. Will a starter and generator from a WC or WD-45 work? If you have any tips on converting an RC to electric start would be great. I will only convert it in a way that I could return it to original.
Thanks,
Wade

All RCs have the starter hole right at the top middle of the bell housing like a WC. Even if your tractor never had a starter it most likely has the ring gear on the flywheel. If by chance it does not, a standard 100 tooth flywheel for a WC is what you need. We converted ours with all WC parts including the frame mounted battery box. We didn"t even mess with a charging system or lights, just use a group 26 12 volt battery hooked up negative ground and charge the battery every so often. Kip

Would you mind letting me know what the paint code is of the paint used on this RC?

Thanks
