1949 Farmall Cub

Posted by Mitch the Farmer on January 07, 2005 at 07:48:27 from (205.188.117.13):

Need some advice on a 1949 Cub I bought for my grandson. The Cub has been setting in a barn for about 7 years. Tires are dry rotted, but metal etc. is good. Got it running, and oil when we changed it was thick as molasses. Put in 30w HD and changed the oil filter, it's smoking but seems to run good. Left axel seal is leaking, and would like to know if I should flush the engine or check the oil pump to make sure the screen is clean. Oil pressure went all the way up and dropped to almost "O" after running for a little while. What is normal oil pressure? This is first Farmall to own. My grandson is very excited about the tractor. If we have to put new rings etc.,what do you think it would cost? Any advice would be appreciated.
