Im lucky enough to have a tractor from each great grandpa that they purchased new. The first is a 1923 case 12-20 that is finally restored. Now I want to get at the other, a 1941 Farmall MD. My dad says he will help with the cosmetics if I get it mechanically ready. two small things I have questions about are the rear main is failing. and second, clutch adjustment. I have heard that the rear main on a M is like a rope that you feed in to the retainer by droping the oil pan and loosening the rear main bearings to give the crank some play. Is there anyone who has done this? Secondly clutch adjustmentin the books says its external on the rod to the pedal. Others have told me it is adjustableon the pressure plate to compensate lineing wear. Which would save me splitting the tractor for a clutch and rear main. It was major overhauled in the early 80's and I can'tbelieve it was put together with a worn out clutch. Any help would be appreciated!
