Stan: I should clarify one item. The IT manual I have covering the C-135 engine is as it applied to the 404 and 2404 tractors. This 140 I have was not run in 10 years, just sat in a heated warehouse. They never could get it going, since they had bought this farm and turned it into a wholesale tropical plant greenhouse operation. They had the wiring all messed up, still 6 volt generator and trying to use neg ground. I doubt it the tractor has more than 500 hours on it since new. It drives like 130 did in 1958. They had also left it half full of coolant. After completely rewiring, alternator, amp gauge, battery, even light fuse and switches. Water pump and top half of rad were mass of rust. Rebuilt pump and recored rad. After all this I couldn't gey it to run smooth, so decided to adjust valves as it needed a new valve cover gasket anyhow. Went by book and used 0.014 for both intake and exhaust. It had been way off. This setting improved it, but I was not satisfied. I noticed the exhaust valve setting for C-135 in 404 is 0.020. I gradually increased my exhaust valve settings and at 0.018 the 140 works perfect.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
