1950 Farmall C
Purchased in St. John's, Michigan on April 10th, 2005, for $50.00
Progress on the "C" as of January 6, 2006
This tractor is in pretty bad shape, but it is complete except for the bracket that holds
the grill in place. The tractor had been setting in this field for many years, and a tree
fell on it and dented the gas tank badly and bent the steering wheel and lift-all controls.
The engine was stuck badly and the pistons and sleeves had to be pressed out. The
block has several cracks, all of which are repairable. The head is okay, but will need
new guides, valves, etc. This tractor is truly a "basket case", as most of it was laying in
pieces on the ground (including the push rods) and had to be collected in buckets. I
hauled it about 120 miles to my home with a car-hauler trailer.
