Not the same tractor but close. I completely disassembled my Super A, complete engine overhaul, replaced all bearings in the transmission and final drives, gears were ok. All seals and gaskets were replaced. All parts were taken to bare metal and painted separately. Took me 18 months, probably 4-$5000. Also refurbished the Woods belly mower. I am retired, so it is just something to do. I also did a C like yours, that consisted of head work, most seals and gaskets replaced. Transmission was inspected and found to be ok. All parts removed and painted separately. 4 new tires. No engine work, but, 9 years later antifreeze in the oil, so it is getting a complete engine overhaul, should have done it 9 years ago. There are no rules, whatever satisfies you.
I will say that I really doubt if I ever completely disassemble a tractor again. BUT, I am guessing that your C's engine needs a complete overhaul, that will cost you about $1000 including machine work if you do it yourself. Before you do anything, get the thing running and drive it around--listen for strange noises in the transmission and rear end. If none remove the trans cover anyway and at least look at the gears, and clean all the old oil out. Check for loose or noisy transmission bearings. Remove the rear wheels and see if there is up and down or side to side movement in the rear axles. You probably need to take the steering apart and replace the seals and gaskets, chances are it will not need any parts unless it has been abused. I would overhaul the hydraulic pump, meaning seals and gaskets, if it works ok there is little else you can do. Completely disassemble the hydraulic block/reservoir and put a CaseIH kit in it. Take it one step at a time. The most time consuming part of this is probably removing old paint, sanding everything, reparing dents, etc, and getting ready for paint. Doing a good job takes a long time.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
