I picked up a little Farmall cub - appears to be a 1951 model. It has been parked for years as the owners had used it until they bought a Zero turn. Three immediate issues to address before I start on anything else (the engine is not froze and appears to have good compression).
The transmission will slide over the 1/R but will not go into either gear (trying this with the engine off). It will easily slide into 2nd or 3rd - what is a good starting point on this?
The clutch appears to be froze against the fly wheel - how do you break that free? Wait until its running and pull it around in 3rd gear while holding the clutch down? Surprising - the brakes appear to work as they should.
Also - a source for a reasonably priced 6 volt battery?
