Hi Everyone, Im new to the site and just bought my first tractor, a 1956 MH50. The engine was "siezed" when I got it. It ended up being a jammed up starter. the tractor sat for 7 years outside and rust accumulated on the ring gear and bound up the starter when the guy I bought it from tried to roll it over. Cleaned the ring gear, filed the points, fresh oil and gas and it purrs like a kitten. Clutch is siezed up as well from sitting. Im wondering if anyone has any ideas on freeing it up? or would i be better off splitting the beast and replacing it? I am also curious on the shift pattern for the main shifter and the shorter shifter to the right of the main. I am assuming its for hi-low range with nuetral in the middle. I am also looking for pointers on things to look for. Thanks in advance
