C Rear Wheels and Cold Starting

Wheel Fall off Rt Rear, other wheel has 2 eccentric and 1 fixed bolt/clamp assembly holding rim to wheel assembly. This side has 2 eccentric and 2 fixed assemblies, as shown in owners manual. Do these wear, and does anyone know where I can get some(Clamps and eccentric bolts) (new or used)

Cold Starting, Haven't had winter yet, but, I purchased it with a Ford Frt end loader to move snow in winter. Had 3 inches of snow the other day, Ambient air temp about 35 F, Tractor started for a few seconds, and quit, would not start again. Any suggestions? ? ?

Thanks Chris Johnston

You should have 2 eccentric and 2 fixed on each wheel. My '42 C has 1 eccentric and 3 fixed on each wheel and I can feel the wheels moving around on the clamps. I posted a 'wanted' ad on the classifieds here and got a bunch of responses. Some guys want $25+ for the clamp, others might sell the clamp and bolt/nut for $5. I bought enough for 4 eccentrics on each wheel to ensure i can get them tight.

Regarding the starting, check the choke to make sure it works, make sure the float setting is correct in the carb. Sounds like a fuel problem to me. If you cannot find the problem, post a more specific question and I'm sure you'll get some good advice.

good luck,
