A few weeks ago I bought a hedge row Super C at an auction. I don't how long its been sitting or why it was sitting but the motor was loose and I've been lucky as I have been getting it ready to try and start. The starter works, I broke off the drain pipe to the radiator but the pieces came out so a new pipe would screw in, cleaned about a quarter inch of tar from the gas tank and cleaned the carb although I have given up on the carb as it has one of the tabs to bolt it on is broken off. After several other things to get ready to start it today we towed it and after a few feet it start up. The biggest thing I wanted to do is determine what all needs to be done so I can buy parts over the winter and get the tractor useful for next year. It ran pretty well but one thing it did was smoke really bad. I'm assuming some of the rings are stuck. Since the motor wasn't stuck I'd like to try something with the rings before tearing it apart. What would you suggest? I know some of you will say tear it apart but I would like to use it for a while and spend the money on something else - like better tires for the back, if possible. This is my first super and I'm excited to have it.
