I have three questions
1- my tractor runs better and starts better when It has more than one or two gallons of gas. It has been starting a little hard. I put 5 gal in and man it starts very good. COuld my inline filter be giving my a little trouble?
2- I want to move the wheel in. Is there any tricks I should know?
3- I picked up a oil filter to change the motor oil. What should I use? Thanks Ron

If you are moving the wheels in, jack one up so it can turn. Run a chain through the wheel & aroundthe main case & hook it together. By rocking the wheel back and forth the chain will tighten& move the wheel in. (loosen the bolts first)

May I add a comment as far as moving your wheels in or out. I use a little spray grease to get them to slide easier over all the rust. Some may say they'll slide after tightening, but I never have had an problems with that.

If you clean the bolts and clamps and oil everything up good you will find that you will not have nearly as many problems with loose wheels as when you try to do every thing dry. I have lost count of how many people have come asking how to get there wheels tight enough to stay where they want them. I have not had a single one come back to tell me that they came loose after they lubricated them.

With the lube you will get them much tighter than if assembled dry. They will also come loose when you want to move them. This is really important for the larger tractors with wedge lock wheels.

In line filters are just great. Thats why I have had a good many cases of beer given to me. People call me and say there tractor will not run, so I go look and 99% of the time they have an in-line filter on them. I throw the in-line filter in my tool box hook up the fuel line as it should be and they then ask me whats the charge, I tell them a case of beer. Gravity flow fuel system don't work well with automotive type in line filters because they where made for fuel systems with a fuel pump. THROW that filter away and your problem will go away also

1. Toss the inline filter.
2. C wheels are light. Do what George says or turn it until the clamp is vertical and rock back and forth
3. SAE 30 or 20W-40.

I use in-line filters on about three or four tractors. They work fine for me. When I buy them at Auto Zone or such, I get the ones that the model number starts with a 'G'. This means it is for gravity flow.

I jack the tractor up about 2 inches off ground and use a spud barunder the bottom to lift a little weight off the axle and place a hand on top of tire and push, they slide very easy this way. You will get different responses as to the oil, but I use HD SAE 30 weight in all of mine. I expect you need to clean your tank, fuel lines and carb for the running troubles.

We have the inline see thru filters on a couple of the Molines, one probably doesn't really need it, the other still has crud in the tank that's been working it's way out (tank was resealed once, but then the tank is another story) so it's better to trap it there than in the carb.

Tractors run just fine, other than the one that'll trap the gunk occasionally. We just swap out the filter with a spare we keep in the box and continue on.

As for the oil I like HD30w or 15w40.

I have a C tractor myself, but I haven't moved the wheels in. The tractor has such a wide axle and I have enough of it sticking out past each tire now that I don't need to give myself the impression that the tractor is any narrower.

Just loosen the clamp bolts, lube the axle up and rock it in, after blocking or jacking up that side just enough for ground clearance.
