: Me and my grandpa bought a farmall m off an old man and the engine is locked down. If you have any suggestions please let me know.
I have a 1946 M and the starter will lock on it every now and then. I will go to start it and just get a click. I have to loosen the starter off, move it around untill it disingages and I can push it back into place, tighten it up and then the tractor will start right up. Try taking the starter off and seeing if it the engine will turn over by hand or tow, if not it could be another problem if the tractor was left outside much but try that first and let us know, good luck.
