I’m trying to assist a friend who had a number of tractors get caught in Midwest floodwaters. These are mainly IH tractors. A number of us spent one day draining, flushing the engine with E85 and changing engine oil as well as draining water from the transmission and rear end or completely draining the transmission and filling with new fluids. All grease zerks were also greased. Yesterday another friend of the owner and I continued working on these tractors. We drained water from the carburetors, from the oil filters and disassembled the distributors and sprayed those with brake cleaner. We got through six of the tractors.
One question I have, are there other things we should be doing with these tractors? The water was just above the frame rails on a series similar to an M. The water rose on a Wednesday and receded on Saturday night. All the oil changes were done on Monday. Yesterday (Wednesday) we got the 656 started but I couldn’t get it in gear using the clutch. I started it several times with it in gear but couldn’t get the clutch operating correctly. Could the clutch have gotten rusted in that short of time and what are options to try and get the clutch operating correctly? Thanks in advance for any advice.
