Got my first tractor and excited to have it running. My Great Grandfather and GG Grandfather bought this in 1951 and ran it on his little 15 acres of fields until 200__ until his health wouldn t let him. It was well loved but well used. He did us a favor by drawing the gas when he parked it.
Cleaned the tank, carb, rewired what the rats had chewed, rebuilt the starter, replaced distributor cap, and she fired right up!
Drove it around the field and everything still works.
Both rear axle seal are leaking and the lift cylinder is leaking pretty bad. Going to start replacing seals and get all the worn linkages tightened and fab d before I start making it pretty again. This is my first time breaking into a tractor. Any tips, advice, etc will be appreciated. I am going to order a service and parts manual first. Recommendations?
The guys on the main page were great help at narrowing down the model and year.
I also have a bottom plow that appears to be around the same vintage. I am going to have to dig around and see if I can find any of other implements he had for it. I remember as a kid seeing a side sickle mower but he also had another slightly larger tractor at that time. Not sure which it was on.
