You might be surprised...

flill & flush the trans with diesel.

Just might cure what's ailing it.  :greetings-clapyellow:

Yes!  Exactly what I was thinking.  And then follow up with fresh gear oil, and see what happens.

 

Front tires at least seem to be holding air, maybe you'll get lucky there too, maybe just add tubes.

 

Good luck!

I'll try that and see what happens to at least get it moving on its own if possible, but eventually will probably tear into it for a rebuild...due to the special factor of this particular  tractor it will end up with a full no expense spared restoration...may take several years but we will eventually get there.

The RF tire will still hold a bit of air...the LF is shot it's completely flat and has huge splits in the sidewall...but no big deal there iv e got an extra set of four tires on rims that will hold air I can at least put on it to make it easier to roll around

:confusion-shrug: Don't think I'd fill it though.

just a quart, or so...and leave it sit to cook in that hot Oklahoma sun for a few days. 

Lift the front up, drain it...then, do it again. 

Might try running it in the only gear you've got, before you try finding any more gears. 

Use a light touch, don't force the shifter, and trash your forks.  :handgestures-fingerscrossed:

Super impressive how Rugged these manual Trans are.... 

You may try "E-tanking" the internals to remove the rust at some point after splitting the case.

I also agree with filling up with diesel, it will soak into all the "stuck" internal parts.  Then tip up and let drain for awhile out in the hot sun.  Put oil back in it and if you have the engine running at that point, see if she will move in whatever gear you can put it in(engine in idle).  Things might free up with some gentle working, but like said, do not "force" anything.  Glad to she her home and cannot wait to see your progress bringing her back to life again.      Mike the Aspie

Definitely try the diesel fuel trick. I personally would also add some marvel mystery oil to it. I don't know what is in that stuff but I swear by it. Maybe try straight marvel? Its worth a shot and would make for a good story!!

That's just awesome!  Glad you got it.  Looks like a very solid and straight tractor.  That will be a fun project to get her going again.

      Ii have a C141, It's my favorite Tractor. His name is Wilbur. 
       
      Two months ago Wilbur's original muffler came off. It has rusted away into two or three pieces. I fashioned a stack-type muffler from an off-the shelf muffler from TSC. With a few elbows of black pipe, a clamp, and some pipe wrenches, I got him together. And ran great. He was very happy as I set him out to pasture and he grazed upon the three acres.
       
      Last week while mowing, Wilbur lost power rapidly. White smoke, sounds of 'missing', and running very roughly. I've no idea what the issue was, so I quickly got him back to the garage. And I left him. Unsure of what to do, I decided, due to limited funds, to find an engine, swap, and then later get the 14hp engine running. I'm about to hopefully gain a C160. 
       
      Will there be any issues putting this 16hp engine into Wilbur?
       
      Thanks for reading.
