All, Some of you may recall my posting from a week or so ago in which the clutch on a rebuilt '50 C seemed like it wouldn't disengage fully... http://www.ytmag.com/farmall/messages/388058.html Well, I have new results to report! (Most of 'em are good...) Big Don was right. When I blew the installation of the first engine, I bent the clutch disk. It was pretty clear once I got it out. I installed a new disk, made sure I had greased the pilot bushing, and put the tractor back together again. The clutch now works great! For those interested, I've uploaded a couple of pictures of the bent clutch disk: http://home.earthlink.net/~farmallfan/images/bent-clutch1.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~farmallfan/images/bent-clutch2.jpg It was bent to the extent that the inside hub was rubbing against the flywheel bolts. The bad news is that, in addition to the clutch disk, I bent the drive shaft too. Not a lot, but enough so that I could see the end bounce around when I had a neighbor rotate the PTO shaft. I can feel the vibration at higher RPMs... So, I'm now noodling over whether or not I want to find another shaft and swap it out. Anyone know if I have to remove the clutch housing from both ends in order to do that? So, thanks for everyone's input -- the C is back in business! (And, I'm getting really much better at putting a split tractor back together the *right* way.) - David

Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
