Well today I went and picked up my first Farmall C. Something I've been wanting for ever now. With what C's go for around here, I believe I got a good deal on it. However I have a couple questions.
1.
On the way home (probably a 30 minute drive) at the first stop sign, the tractor started knocking a little, it did this for about 30 seconds until I idled it back down, and then took off..as soon as I took off it went away, and hasn't done it since, and was fine the rest of the way home. The guy I bought it from said it has a fresh rebuild..could that noise be from the piston rings not being seated right yet or what? I can tell it's been apart, as the oil pan gasket, valve cover, water neck and all other gaskets and bolts are new. I don't know a whole lot about engines on these, but I drove it around the barn a few times with it as soon as I got home and it hasn't seemed to make the noise again. It holds about 20psi at idle, and the oil psi goes up as the RPMs do.
2.
Also, is there any sort of clutch adjustment on these? I don't see any adjustment in the clutch rod itself like my H and M have, so I'm not sure how I'm going to address this problem. It only grinds when its in neutral and you first go to put it in gear. If you take off in one gear, stop & keep the clutch down, and put it in another gear, it's fine, as long as you dont release the clutch in neutral then re press it, you can switch gears just fine...kinda odd. When you let it out, it takes off as soon as you depress the clutch, where as my M engages after the clutch is 3/4 of the way out.
Hopefully one of you can help me out with this, thanks! Oh, and here's a couple pictures of it. It's not pretty, but hopefully that will change soon. Rear rubber is excellent, and it has a 3pt hitch on it.
