I purchased a Super C that has not run in 6 years. I have done the following:
-- All new wires (plug, battery, generator & starter).
-- I had the starter and generator overhauled and cleaned.
-- Changed all fluids.
-- Dropped oil pan and cleaned out sludge. Former owner only used non-detergent oil and it shows.
-- Removed value cover and cleaned out more sludge.
Here what happens. When I go to start it I can hear the starter engage the flywheel. The motor grunts and turns slightly. I thought maybe starter was bad. I took starter from my other Super C which works great and put it in this one. Same result, no start. I can turn the motor with the crank so I know that the motor is not stuck "on center". My question is could sludge in the block be responsible for not allowing the motor to turn over when I pull on the starter? I'm about ready call the neighbor over and have him pull me around the yard and make the tractor start. Any ideas? Thanks.

The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
