Been eye'n this tractor for a month or two now. The owner of it is never usually around when I stop to look at it, so I left my number and talked to him about it a while back. Well today my Dad and I stopped by to look it over again, put a gallon of gas in it and touched the jumper cables to it and it fired right up. I finally decided I wanted it. The only catch is I have to sell one to afford this one, so I'm going to put one of my H's up forsale, and sell my C after I fix it. I drove it around for a little while, really like how it drives, so I called the owner on his cell and he met me at the house and we worked it out to pick it up from him Tuesday. I've always had kind of a soft spot for Super Cs, though I've never owned one. I had driven one years ago and liked it a lot, but my C that I bought last year just doesn't seem the same. So needless to say I'm pretty excited to pick her up.
Now, onto the questions.
1. This tractor has a dipstick near the oil filter. It looks factory, but none of my other Farmalls (H's, M's, C's) have had one, was this standard on the Super C?
2. The tractor is converted to 12v, but I do not think it's charging. The ammeter doesn't look like it's worked in a while, but it ran for about a hour and died, and when I went to fire it back up it barely turned over. Jumped it with my Jeep and it ran fine unless I pulled the cables, it would die. I suspect it's time to have the alt rebuilt? I haven't had a chance to put my multi meter to it and see.
3. I want to flush the fluid in the rear end. It's very quiet, but my last C developed a noise in the rear after a few months of owning it, so I want to make sure this one is full and water free. Should I use a 80/90 gear oil? The guy told me he updates all of his Farmalls with something called "hytran" I tried searching on here for it, but search sucks on my phone. How many gallons will the rear end hold and how do I not over fill it? I'm trying to find a service manual or I&T book online asap.
4. What do I run in the touch control unit? And how many quarts/pints?
Thanks so much for the help, I'm sure it's been covered time and time again, but it's hard for me to search with this internet.
Onto some pictures. Other than the charging issue, it's a great runner. Drove it around for a while. Paint is fair, tires are brand new, no smoke, noise, great oil psi. I like it a lot, and I gave what I feel is a more than fair price for it, so that helps.
