Hello All,
Found my way here during websearches quite a few times, but never posted before. Mostly Farmall & McCormick, but plenty color blind too.
Onto the tractor question from the title: a neighbor asked me to help him fix up his dad's 22-36: last ran about 30 years ago when it was parked due to the governor going nuts. Looks like the water was drained when it was parked. Oil looks good. Original style manifold (so condensation would have been the only enemy I can think of), the throttle was updated to the governor side instead of the carb side.
I have a nearly identical 22-36, and have unstuck a few tractors, but not that one, so before I get ahead of myself: is there anything I need to tend to before breaking it loose - like valves, waterpump, etc. so as to not inadvertantly destroy them? It's been soaking [diesel/brake fluid] a couple months, about 1/3 up/down; if sitting on the crank every few days doesn't move it after a while, I'll probably pull the rockers so all the valves are up and give like pairs air in alternating directions.
He want's to keep it as he remembers rather than a full restoration, so I'm hoping not to pull the head or anything major
Clutch is stuck too; I recall that being a bugger on mine; any advice there?
How about that governor? Any advice.
Is the shop manual on this worth buying; I've had mixed results there.

Today's Featured Article - 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. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
