I got the C together today using parts from the other C, which is now almost all dismantled. I swapped the entire steering assembly and the front end, the radiator and thermostat housing, the sheet metal and the starter. I still need to put the bolts in the front of the hood and get a shorter fan belt and some threaded rod and put on the alternator and wiring. When I started it up and drove it out of the shed everything seemed fine except that there was a humming or buzzing noise coming from the magneto which was audible with the engine running. The mag is a Fairbanks Morse K4B4A rather than the J4B3 which I am used to seeing. It is a bit bigger and is the cleanest, shiniest magneto I have ever personally seen, it looks like the pictures of reman ones I see online. When I put my hand on the mag case it seemed to be vibrating but I could not tell if it was vibrating more than the rest of the engine. I would have thought the sound was a water pump bearing going bad but with no fan belt that didn't seem possible. The sound did seem to be coming from the mag area but I could have been wrong. I only ran it for a couple of minutes and then shut it down. Any advice will be much appreciated. Zach

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
