First timer on this forum. We just got a 1936 Case C on steel to go with our DC and SC. She's a beauty under that rusty surface. Working to get the engine unstuck now. Anyone know where I can get a complete gas tank for it? Would be nice to have a clean, new replica tank for the restoration. The existing tank has a rusted out bottom. Also, where might I get replacement cleats for the rear wheels? If I can't find them, we'll just make some. Looking for leads or ideas. Thanks.
 
Biewers tractor salvage in Barnsville MN should be able to help You out on these. A lot of the lugs like the ones on My C have the same bolt spacing as IH. I have some parts But no tanks I would use without sealing them first.
 
red kote mite fix it ... put duct tape over the holes if they are no biggerv than a screen door holes ..pour itin the tank .. strap the tank to a tractor axle and go feed the cows for good allover coverage..drain off access and hang a lite bulb in the tank for3 days .. best to cure a week ..
 

I will investigate this product but the most of the bottom is rusted away in the gas tank I have. If I can't find a better replacement, we'll have to get something made because I'm not sure the one I have can be repaired easily. However, I was thinking about cutting away the bad part and welding in new sheet metal on the bottom 25% of the tank. I certainly can't do it myself but will check with a buddy in the tractor club. Thanks much!
 

Appreciate the caution Gary. I've read some forum advice that emphasizes patience in getting a motor unstuck. I'm assuming the pistons are what is stuck in my C but I had not thought about the valves. Right now, I have got a concoction of Marvel Mystery oil and BP Blaster poured into the cylinders via spark plug holes. Giving that a week or two before trying to spin the engine. With your advice, we'll also have a look at the valves before trying to "break anything loose". Incidentally, we have just put our '41 Case SC engine back together...had a bent intake valve that apparently broke a guide in the head.
 
Carolina Case, the 36 RC I picked up would turn part
of the way over and then go clunk. I thought I had a
broken connecting rod, but it was an exhaust valve
that was stuck. Freed that up and the engine spins
freely. Good luck on your C.
 

Glad to read that you have made this work. This certainly gives me a workable gas tank option if I don't find a suitable replacement. Thanks Jim!
 

Good to know. I just talked to another Case enthusiast today who suggested that I take the valve cover off and put my Mystery oil/PB Blaster concoction on the valves to free them up. I'm going to do that and take my time getting the engien free so as not to break or damage the valve guides or bend the valves. Thanks!
 
One of the bad sections I cut out of a tank before welding in the new steel. And the condition of the tank when I started.

Jim, I appreciate you sending along these pictures. Although I have to replace the whole tank bottom, this gives me confidence. Is there a particular metal you used for the patch?
 
You talking about a stuck engine, when I worked at the local Ford Tractor dealership. We got a call about a ford 3000 that would not turn over. The customer had put everything he could think of to no avail.So when we got her into the shop did all kinds of looking , front hydro pump, oil pan off no trouble in either place. Started to pull the exhaust manifold off and Corn started to fall everywhere. This tractor had a underslung muffler and a mouse or mice had filled the #3 cylinder full of corn . That little bugger was planning on a feast for the winter... Just a little fun story......Kenny
 
On that one I actually cut patches from an old Farmall M hood! However, new steel probably would have been a better choice.
