Hey guys,
I'm new to the tractro world. I usually dink around with mowers and cars outside of PC world job. I recently purchased a 1945 M from my father in law for 300 dollars with a stan hoist trip loader. It hasn't run in several years. My first thoughts are to get the battery charged, which is happening now, and then dump some gas in the carb, test for spark and see if she pops off. The gas tank is clean. Past that once I get her going he said that after running it for about fifteen mintues the oil pressure would drop and it would start knocking. Any ideas? I was planning on dumping the oil pan once I got it running again and checking the pump and cleaning out all the old sledge. It has a newly rebuilt head on it as the previous owners ran it out of coolant and cracked the head. I also have 3 new tires on it so I still think the price was right.
I was reading in the operators manual that the Distillate version had an aux tank on it. Mine has the aux tank, and boy does it look nasty inside, but lacks the other "valves" that the distillates used. The the plain old gas engines come with an aux tank sometimes or has mine been bastardized in some way?
Thanks a ton for the help for this newbie

I tried posting pics of the tractor but It wouldn't let me yet. When it lets me I'll get pictures up for everyone.
