    Correct color for wheel weights

    The weights and the rims were both silver, not red. Thanks,

    Correct color for wheel weights

    I meant to say rims, not wheels. Sorry and thanks to all who replied.

    Correct color for wheel weights

    I have a 1949 C that was my grandfathers. I don"t believe he ever painted it--not in my recollection--and the wheel weights have been silver (like the rims) as long as I can remember. Every other letter series tractor I"ve seen in photographs show weights being the same red as the wheels. Could...

    Touch Control on a C

    Part of my problem is that I'm not sure what the proper name of parts are. When I say that both sections moved, I'm talking about the half moon shaped items connected to the cylinders that the implements attach to. When the resevoir was empty, I could push them back and forth. The lever on the...

    Touch Control on a C

    Ran out of funds for my 1949 C (which was my grandfather's) so I buttoned her back up and saw what the fruits of my labor was. This past spring it was all electrical & fueling. I figured if I had any major mechanical issues, they would surface after that. With a little prompting she fired right...

    question for janicholson

    Jim, a couple weeks back you guided me through the cut out to regulator wiring conversion. The L lead from the regulator is now connected to the fuse holded and then the fuse holder to the light switch as I understood it. What now is the proper fuse? 15 amp? I'm still running a six volt system...

    Stainless muffler

    There is an outfit call Stainless Specialties that advertises in Antique Power, as well as elsewhere. Just Google Stainless Specialties and you'll find him. Custom work for about any application. I found the pricing to be pretty attractive.

    6 volt battery

    I invested in a new Interstate 6 volt last year--pricey, but I think it's worth it--and more importatnly, a battery tender. They provide a set of leads that you can leave hooked to the battery terminals and just plug them into the unit when the tractor is not in use. It's a float charger so you...

    push pull ignition switch to key conversion

    Is it possible to replace the push/pull ingnition switch on my 1949 C with a key switch? This is a mageneto fired tractor, and it appears to me that there is a single wire from the mag to the switch. Key switches generally have at least 2 wire. This tractor is no longer used for farming. It's my...

    Detergent oil

    An associate and his father have a number of green tractors. I've mentioned my intent to (after I have it good and warmed up) drain the oil, clean the pan out, and replace the oil with a multi viscosity like 15-40. He's been pretty adamant about staying away from detergent blends, stating that...

    More on regulator conversion

    Jim, one last thing. You are pretty specific about omiting the resisitor that comes with the kit from F on the reg to F on the gen. That basically was "the kit". What's the rationale behind it? Gene seems to indicate it has something to do with the 4 position light switch. I assume I'm just...

    More on regulator conversion

    Jim, whenever I post I hope you are among the responders. I very much appreciate all the help you've given (as I do everyone's here on the forum). You are indispensible to my efforts. I'm sure a lot of the newbies and under-educated Farmall crew feel the same. Thanks again.

    Do I have a 6v or 12v system???

    It's hard to say if it's changed hands a couple of times. My 1949 C is 6 volt, and I went through quite a few dollars getting it to start fine. Some others may know, but mine came with a cut out, not a regulator, so that was something that had to be changed. It may be that someone who did not...

    More on regulator conversion

    A few weeks back I tested the waters here regarding replacing the stock cut out on the generator of my 1949 C with a regulator and, based on the feedback, I opted to do that. I had a very reputable local auto-electric outfit (that's been around longer than me) rebuild the generator and install...

    Air cleaner on a '49 C

    I disassembled my air cleaner the past weekend as a part of my "renewal" effort. Looking at the exploded view in the manual, it seems that there is no way to access or replace the filter element in the canister. It says to flush it with kerosene. Is there indeed a way to access and replace the...
