This is the Model C for which the combine engine is destined.

+1 that's a project!

 We didn't have a C version on the farm so I had to pull up the Tractor Data page. That looks like a good tractor to have.

Using gov inflation stats, if sold new today it would be a $16,000 tractor. Which seems like a bargain for what you could farm with it.

We are working under a very LOW budget situation here so don't expect to see a fancy restoration LOL

We need (or at least I think we need) another power plant engine; the combine engine itself could suffice as it has the PTO gearbox, but it has no provision for electric start, and it would be more convenient if it were self-propelled rather than needing to be hauled around for different applications. The derelict tractor should solve both of those problems.

This tractor belonged to a dear family friend and neighbor; I first saw this machine when I was about four years old back in 1962, and I remember helping in the hay fields where it was being used.

The neighbor sold the farm in the late 1960's and passed away a few years later. Subsequent owners neglected the tractor and the block cracked from freezing water.

Somehow my Dad acquired the tractor and it has sat on our place ever since; he wanted to fix it up but passed away far too young. My Grandson and I hope to make it roar once again if the Lord is willing, so this is a labor of love as much as anything.

Would it be more advantageous to convert the combine to PTO?
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

I did not mean to be misleading; the combine will probably never run again and never has since I have owned it, I wouldn't even begin to know how to run it. I bought it from another neighbor about 40 years ago, I do remember seeing it run back in the 70's when the neighbor put in about 20 acres of oats. He had his Father bring the combine up from Coeur d' Alene for the job and it never left the place. I bought it mainly for the engine as I had a Model C at the time.

The engine was stuck when I removed it this winter, but not too badly, and it turns over quite nicely now.

The blower engine is another story, good thing it was cheap. But I got another magneto, which was worth the price in itself.
