I'll be moving my '44 H to my friend's farm this weekend to start working on it. I think my first priority will be to get the tractor up and running so I can better evaluate its internal mechanical condition so I can find things to fix prior to tearing it down for a restoration. (Tell me if I'm correct with that).
What I know is that the tractor is not running. I couldn't check to ensure the engine is loose because the hand crank arm is broken. I tried to turn the fan, but it slips on the pulley.
- What other methods can I ensure the engine is loose?
Once I know it's loose, I need to fill it with oil.
- How much oil does an H take?
- What kind of oil should I use in 100 degree temps?
After that's done, I need to get it started.
- What do I check first?
- And then what?
- What tools will I need?
- What else will I need? I'm excited! I'm finally going to get my hands dirty on a tractor! First time in my life! WOO HOO!
