Reviving the Forgotten Farmall - Part 1

Here's a little Farmall tractor that has been forgotten and sitting for a long time. It would make a good chore tractor, so why not bring it back to life? Here's part 1, where I find out that the starter has a problem. I don't think the engine is stuck.

i love IH tractors. i dont have the room or need for a farm tractor, but i revived a 1971 cub cadet 147 that was built buy IH. it has a little K301 engine that i rebuilt, i know its supposed to have a 14 hp but i had a good 12 hp block that i rebuilt. i used the tractor today to do the driveway. i love those little IH built cub cadet, built just like the big tractors except it will fit in you lawn. i mow 2 acres with it and have a large driveway. she's small but still an IH

@ad356 Those little Cub Cadet tractors were some pretty good workhorses, and they still do well for so many things today.

In the time that has passed since this video was made, we got this tractor running. It's even been partially restored.

My Uncle had an old Farmall. Not sure if your Farmall has this, but my Uncle's also had a crank start in addition to the electric start.

Practically all old tractors had a crank start, even if they had an electric starter in place. I'm not sure if that was a tacit admission that six volt systems were not always able to do the job, or if it was provided because rural farm families might have used the battery to run other things, like a farm radio. I've heard that prior to full rural electrification being completed, using a battery from a car, truck or tractor for other electrical power needs was commonplace on farms.
