heres a picture of a farmall c i just resurrected for a buddy of mine. tractor had been sitting in a barn for 15 years or so,motor was loose.
as you dont know the history on the tractor, proceed with a little caution so you dont make matters worse. what i did with this before attempting to start it, drain all the fuel out and flush the fuel tank. there is a small drain plug on the bottom of the carburetor, remove that and see what comes out, you may need to pull the carb and clean it up. next, drain the engine oil and look for water or antifreeze. add fresh oil and replace the filter. next pull the spark plugs and see what they look like, ie rust, water damage ect. fill and oil can with dextron transmission fluid and squirt 3-4 pumps in each cylinder. pull the valve cover and squirt trans fluid on valves and rocker arm shaft. let it soak for a day. then with the plugs out, hand crank the engine over and watch to see if all the valves open and close. if good, i see you have a distributor ignition, pull the distributor cap and dust cover and look at the points. you may need to clean them up with a little 400 grit sandpaper, contact cleaner, or rub a dollar bill thru the points when they are closed. then get the battery charged and try cranking it over to see if there is spark. if good, drop the air cleaner cup off, put some fresh fuel in it, put the trans in neutral and see if she starts. the clutch disk may be stuck to the flywheel, so be careful. also check the rear end for water by loosening the drain plugs and see if water comes out.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
