Hello to everyone!!
First off, When it comes to tractors, I'm a tad wet behind the ears!! We just bought a 20-acre farm that has been let go and overrun by vegetation. Lucky for us, the property came with a tractor and a grip of implements to help kick some vegetation booty!!. The tractor runs, but not as intended...I think
Here are my 2 main issues:
- The colder it is, the longer to start. However, I'm not really sure if that's just the way tractors were built then, or if it can be sped up through adjustments, part cleaning or new parts
- The clutch does nothing. At first, there was no resistance while pressing and releasing the pedal, so I adjusted it to where it felt like it would be proper, but still nothing. As if something in the inside the clutch mechanism froze up.
I'd like to order a few parts to get it going but just not sure on a couple things. Like how to tell what size clutch kit I'll need.
Also, there seem to be 2 service manuals for the Ford 640 available through Yesterdays Tractors. Is one better than the other?
Any help would be super appreciated!
Thanks
