    White dealers in South Carolina

    Nothing in particular. I'm restoring a MM Z and just have always had an interest in where old dealers were. I know of a few MM/Oliver dealers that were in South Carolina and I started wondering if any of these dealers flipped over to WFE after the merger & acquisition and how many of them just...

    How to free a stuck engine?

    Good points. Would acetone be better than kerosene in this case?

    How to free a stuck engine?

    On your comment about the muffler sitting horizontal.. I take it you're saying this could be in my favor? It would take a lot of water entering to rust up the cylinder? Sorry, I'm a novice and just wanted to be sure I understood right. Nonetheless, I appreciate all your insight and help.

    How to free a stuck engine?

    Good information. When I first saw this tractor in 2022 the exhaust pipe was covered. I'm assuming my friend had it covered the entire time he owned it and it was running when he got it, so hoping it isn't too rusted. You're right. ZTUs had odd engines. Side mounted valves, spark plugs on the...

    How to free a stuck engine?

    I’m hopefully starting my MM ZTU project this weekend. I bought this tractor from a friend who said the tractor was running when he bought it and drove it on and off his trailer, then parked it and now the engine is locked up. So my guess since it was sitting outside and didn’t have any major...

    Have you ever damaged something in the restoration process?

    That's cool! Do you have grandpa's SC? If you're in Iowa, you're in Moline turf, so finding an R or Z should be fairly easy. The Rs are cool little tractors and don't bring a ton. Molines are scarce here in the deep south (I'm in Georgia) and I had just loved the way a ZTU looked, ever since I...

    Have you ever damaged something in the restoration process?

    Thank you. I'm 26 and this VAC is my first restoration. I also own a '48 MM ZTU in another barn and I'm working on getting the engine free in it, because it's next. Good looking John Deere as your profile picture.. I've always been a big fan of unstyled JDs. An unstyled Deere and Oliver are on...

    Have you ever damaged something in the restoration process?

    I'm finishing up step 1 of restoring my heirloom 1951 VAC Case... Which was redoing the entire fuel system (replacement tank, carb rebuild, new line, new strainer bowl, etc.) step 2 is going to be replacing the radiator. This last weekend I started on removing the radiator from the grill and I'm...

    VAC Case fuel line placement ?

    I'm finishing up step #1 on getting grandpa's VAC back together and running, which was the fuel system.. New fuel tank, new fuel line, rebuilt the carburetor, etc. I'm was having problems connecting the fuel line from the carburetor to the sediment bowl, with the air cleaner / intake. The fuel...

    My very first MM

    This is all very helpful and I really do appreciate it. A 39 ZTU is a beautiful machine. Mine is a 1948 and near dead end production before they went over to the ZAs, but I really love the earlier machines like yours. I'm pretty sure there's some slight design differences between the late...

    Is anyone still compiling a list of MM dealers?

    When I get that dealer name I will send you a message with it! The dealer tag is still on the fender of my Z but I didn't take a picture when I bought the tractor and my friend is hauling it up here this weekend. Thank you!

    My very first MM

    This is a real novice question, but this is my first restoration. What’s the process if valves are stuck? How do you free them? Thank you!

    My very first MM

    Here is my first MM. I’m 26 now and I’ve wanted a ZTU since I was at least 15 or 16.. so I feel like I bought a new car. It’s a 1948 model and from what I can tell, it’s spent the last 76 years in South Carolina. My friend bought this tractor and it was running with no major issues but it...

    Is anyone still compiling a list of MM dealers?

    There was an old thread on here where I saw some members speaking of compiling a list of known MM dealers. I haven't seen another thread in some time. I'm particularly interested in helping gather information on MM dealers in the deep south, particularly South Carolina and Georgia. MM never...

    VAC fuel tank strap question

    I replaced the fuel tank on the VAC Case I'm slowly restoring with an original that was rust free and overall great condition. I haven't put it on the tractor yet and I'm sort of brainstorming. The straps that fit over these tanks could cause rust with time, I guess. Is there any trick some of...

    Can you help me ID the year on my VAC Case?

    I have never driven this tractor, but rode on it when I was a kid. I'm 26 now. My dad remarked very recently on the steering having a lot of play in it, so I'm interested to hear if this method will also work on the VACs.. Do you have a source on a distributor for these? I think the distributor...
