good cold throttle and hot idle oil pressure.

showed a pic of my test gauge.. IE.. an OP gauge on a grease hose whip 3000/12000 psi work / burst :) and some coupler and street 'ELL '

pulled and cleaned up very gunky starter, spins over like a dream now using a spare tractor battery I set in there. have to play witht he choke and throttle for a few seconds after start till she's ready to run with no throttle.. but after a few seconds she's off and going fine.

still using a piece of 14awg wire with gator clips onthe ends as a ignition switch.

she started and unlaoded and drove around under her own powerr today.. parked her in front of the garage where i will be working on her at some point... man does that thing turn sharp! virtually no rest at all except at seems of metal, and then very light. no rust thru's or pinholes i have found yet.

Ya one of the reasons I built my BA was the fact it would turn fast and that works well with a sickle mower which is another reason I built the BA. Just be careful turning fast when in road gear that can get you dead fast
 
Yes the C probably has the shortest turning radius of any IH tractor. The B is also very maneuveable, but has a wider rear wheel spacing.
 
That tractor looks like it was well kept. Oil pressure looks swell. Those wheel wieghts fit AV's, H's and other Farmalls. Friend of mine who deals in parts says they're "good property", meaning valuable to him, for those that need them.
 
cool. other than the leaks I need to attend to and the wireing.. it seems pretty solid. steering not sloppy. breaks are average. clutch feels good. hyds seem to work.

hope I got a good deal. I know how to value fords.. but am less certain onother brands.

Too bad my cub front weights won't fit this one.. :)

Might just invest in a pair of 5.00-15's for the front. Looks like those are motorcycle tires ??. Looks way small.

[b:d20551bbf2]I thought C's came with 4.00-16 and Super C's came with 5.00-15.

souNdguy has a regular C or am I wrong?
