Any good Farmall 140 sites?

Looking for Farmall 140 specific sites / forums. Any good links out there??? Also, what crankcase oils do you guys use in the winter? Summer?
This from a smilin, giggling fool who finally got his IH vintage tractor.

Most folks confuse this matter as they call it one issue. It is two issues, the first one being 6 or 12 volt, and either if properly maintained will start any Farmall gasser under 200 cubic inches. The second issue is generator or alternator, and there is no question the alternator is by far the best charging system, be it 6 or 12 volt. You will buy and maintain an alternator for about 1/2 the cost of a generator.

I've read Dave's post and he probably should look at an alternator even though his generator is working. He'll probably buy the 6 volt alternator for less money than the voltage regularor for his current generator.

Gene and Dave may not be as liberated as I. That's a HOOT. LOL

Any tips on the charging system most common fault??

This unit has been outdoors for at least 10 years, probably more. Runs smooth and strong, no smoke. But the battery won't charge and drains overnight.

Battery is in horrible shape, so I will replace that and start from there. What is the most common cause for these units not charging? The generator is producing juice just fine, lights are bright as anything when running, even if the battery itself is flat.

The regulator looks like it hasn't been touched in 10 or more years. And the light switch / starter button are rusted all to heck, as someone lost the cover plate and they have been exposed all these years. The wires to the lights are in bad shape, but work, although the light switch is non-funtional.

After I get through fixing the charging system, I start sanding, straightening, and painting! Can't wait. Thanks again!

I never did it until I retired from farming, 175 holsteins came first. Engines got farmed out to experts. I'm gradually learning but still a bit like the musician that's good only at playing the phonograph.

I know one old guy developed alzheimer's, moved in with daughter and son in law. They had his SA in two car heated garage at the end of the house, and his daughter said that for 10 years the SA was the best sitter she had. He had a big chair, a cot and was quite content to spend his days with the SA. Quite often she had to take his meals to him.

So don't you worry about not enough 140 discussion here at YT, you see we don't have to be fixing all the time like those H, M and other big tractor folks. I once told a guy up near Saginaw MI, (he has a Farmall A) "When man is gone from this earth there will still be an operating Super A around." With that he declared we best contact NASA about taking these offsets along to any new settlements on a new planet.

So don't you fret about 140 expertize, my guess is at any given time, there are probably a dozen offset guys monitoring this site. I was going to say 24-7, but you may encounter a bit of difficulty finding someone between 10pm and 3am.

Sir you will not find anymore offset Farmall expertize anywhere than right here at YT. Cub excepted of course.
