Well, title says it all.... Spent some time with my new Farmall M yesterday. Started tearing things apart, and first things first, I pulled the cover off of the bottom of the torque tube (where the hydraulic pump would have been). There was LITERALLY a foot of insulation, rotting mice, and all kinds of other trash INSIDE the bell housing! The clutch was completely covered, and it all rusted up... BAD!
Next, we try to drain the coolant out of it, only got about a gallon of green, so, okay, guess he had drained it out and not gotten all of it or something.
Then, we took a turn for the worse... Popped the oil plug off of the pan, and drained TWELVE GALLONS OF WATER out of the engine!!!!!! TWELVE!!! ONE TWO!!!! Where did it all come from?!?!?!?!
Took the gov cover off, and it is all rusted into one piece, the engine is of course stuck, and more than likely has a nice big crack inside of it somewhere......
SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO upset!!! Was so excited to have this M, don't think it is worth saving now...
Haven't taken the head off of the engine, but if there was that much water in it, it has to be trashed inside... Has to be...
Right now, I am planning on just selling everything and getting my money back out of it (which I think I can barely do) then starting the hunt all over again!
Anyway, just thought you guys might like to hear an update! :
