Otherwise the radiator or clutch housing may have been swapped. It could be a distillate tractor with a gasoline rear end because they broke the original transaxle, like with a loader.

By the way, I would put an inline filter in the fuel line and keep running it. Sloshing gasoline is the best way to clean the tank and you get to drive the tractor while doing it. I've cleaned up several this way. I have 43 Farmalls and have never actually taken a tank off to clean it.

It's probably the high dollar filters that won't work, because they filter better and have more pressure drop.

Or maybe the guys that don't think an inline filter will work are real sure but have not actually tried it. There is some of that advice on this board.

But each person's experience is what it is, so sometimes advice seems to contradict, but situations are different and sometimes the reasons for a solution are inaccurate. I once knew a guy who was having trouble with his car vaper locking. He thought it was the battery, and said he had to diconnect the battery and let the acid "settle". After five minutes he would reconnect it and the car would start and run! He tried to tell me my vapor locked car was in the battery even though the battery would spin it. After great discussion I could not convince him. I have had good luck with the inline filters but I hate to cut a good factory fuel line so I take them off and hang them up for "later" and put on a home made one.

I'm no "wizard", Farmalls are just easy and fun.

Forty Three? Right now, in your barn?

That is unbelieveable! No wonder they are getting rare! You are hogging them all up!!

I'll bet there are 43 scrapped every week in this country. That does cause a shortage. I'll die, and these will be for sale.

You passed up a "parts" H which I argued should be bought and kept together.

I prefer to think of myself as running a home for aged Farmalls.

Those that want to work get to work, and we don't keep any young snots around to make fun of them. The only three point is on an H that came that way. I have bought several which were headed to the scrap yard.

When someone drives in and asks whether I have a tractor for sale I slap my forehead and say "OH NO! Does it look like I've bought too many?"

And, no sell is a four letter word and we don't use those words around my house.

I do have 3 JD poppers (none restored, a 1937 A, 1950 B, and 1949 H) one Allis and one Massey so people won't think I don't know any better.

About that Parts H. I haven't made a final decision on it. There is a guy named Brandon out here in California. I forget his handle here on YT, but he has a good number of parts that I need for my H. I'm trying to get in contact with him to figure a price for his stuff. If I can do that, then I can leave that H where it sits... and maybe pull it out someday when I'm ready? Who knows.

Anyway, Brandon, if you read this... check your e-mail brother! :-)

ROTFLMAO....
