Sir, nice presentation. Thank you. You have a pleasant, straight forward manner. Nice, too, to see some one working on an actually used tractor, instead of these gussied up perfect restorations.
@@BillPrueter Ensure you have spark going to the spark plugs. Check the points for corrosion, clean contacts on rotor and cap, ensure the ignition coil is functioning properly. On the gas side, ensure fuel flow to the carburetor, and maybe spray some starting fluid in the carburetors air inlet hole to help get it going. Good luck!
hi ... if it was me, I would use Auto-RX on this .... I have used it for years in situations like this and it has never failed .... just sayin' .... interesting video .... good job ; )
Wanted to note a few somethings for folks new to the antique tractor hobby/ownership that watch this. You can also use diesel fuel. Both diesel and kerosene have a light lubrication property that will allow you to run the tractor (albeit for just a few minutes) to help slosh everything around and break down the crud in there. Personally I use diesel because it's cheaper and easier for me to get rid of at the end of the day but both will serve the same purpose. Also be careful when doing this because some tractors have shared sumps for various things. For example Ford N series tractors the transmission is also the hydraulic oil reservoir. You can do this type of thing to those little tractors too but again you want to know exactly what you're doing and what you're doing it to. Also if you have a bad seal someplace in the transmission this will make the leak 10x worse so don't be surprised after you do this you find out you need axle seals etc. These are 50+ year old machines and have 50+ year old machine problems. Many of these machines were used and used really hard and in many cases abused. Don't be surprised if you find something (Out of sorts) after you get it cleaned up.
Did you sell the 1650?? or do you still have it? Kinda weird but Im pretty sure I saw that tractor on the oliver and white group on facebook??? not sure if it is, but just seemed familiar when I watched the equipment tour video. Just subbed!
Ive still got it and I think I'm going to keep it. I pulled it out of the barn so i could store more important running equipment inside. The loaders coming off and it will be my backup hay tractor, thanks for watching!

Thank you for the kind words.
I working on a 49 Cub. Turns over easily, but no start. With you in charge, I am sure it would already be running. Again, impressive presentation.

I have a '53 that might need this, so thanks for the ideas!
Great job! Thanks! Saved me a lot of time.
I like the channel. New Sub here. I have a 1956 300 Utility. Thanks for sharing

Very informative young man

Did you drive the farmall with Kerosene in it when you done the flush then drained it?
Yes, I only drive it for a few minutes though.
Ok so I need to do same . I’m new to this game lol
I’m trying to find a Drawbar so I can pull my plow
Good to know
Do you have video on changing hydraulic fluid
I will make one.

You missed flushing the 2 Ports under the shifter plate. One in front and one in back
Wow. That probably wasn’t changed for over 20 years.
