I have just bought my first tractor to restore. I bought a Farmall "C" with a wide type front end for $350.00. It will need new tires all the way around. It has 11.2 X 36" on the rear, and 6.00 X 16 on the front. Are these the proper size for a "C" ?. I want to keep everything to the orginal specs as much as possiable. Goint to order the manuals for it today. Where are the serial numbers located on this tractor ?. I want to try to find out what year that it was made in. It has a coil on it, as of this time I am not sure if it has been converted to 12 volt or not. The motor is not stuck, but the gas tank is 1/2 full of old stale gasoline. Going to change motor oil today, was told to use 30 W detergent oil. Hope that this info is right. Also going to flush the radiator out, drain the stale gas, clean the carb, gas lines etc, and steam clean the whole tractor. All metal seems to be in really good shape. With a good cleaning, some TLC, and a lot of luck I hope to try to start it on Sunday. I was told that if it is a 6 volt system that it will be positive ground. But if someone has changed it to 12 volts then it will be negative ground, I don't want to short out, or burn up anything. Any advice would sure be of help. Thank You

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
