Best reply, The rust could be from a leaking valve core that has been
repaired and now not leaking. But best would be have tires pumped out, be
sure to save the CaCi to put back in, you will need it. Then remove the
tires and check tubes very well and possibly repair or replace, clean any
rust off and use a rust converter, then paint and then remount being sure
the tubes are in good condition if the old ones or new ones. And use after
putting that CaCi back in . You need the weight if you are going to do
anything heavy with the tractor. And that 3 cylinder is a good engine, only
thing that for me would be a deal breaker if it had the jerk-a-matic S O S
transmission. I had a 65 4000 and a 68 4000, both the 3 cylinder engines.
They were the 4100 models that means they had 38 rear wheels with 13-6x38
rear tires and both were loaded and cast weights as well. One had a loader
and in winter put changes on it and would still spin the tires in snow so
you do need all the weight you can get and CaCi is the best as long as you
keep an eye on the valve stems to spot a possible leak imideatly and fix it
instead of letting it go. That is the reason tractors have to get rims
replaced is because of neglect. And that valve stem is easy to keep an eye o
on the ones with 38 rubber, the 28 are harder to see the stem because of
less clearance. Tractor is rated at 52 PTO HP and one when we got it needed
engine rebuilt and dealer did that as part of the deal. The machine shop
messed up the rebore first time and had to rebore it a second time do that
gave a bit mpre power and it tested on dydo at 60 HP. We pulled a 3-16 plow
with it and a 3-14 with the other and a 12 foot disk or field cultivator.
We had duals for field work on both. Lost the farm due to medical bills or I
would still be using both tractors. Bought first in 1980 and second in 1984.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
