Finally got my Farmall C home

[ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314]

Bought this 1949 C from my grandparents south of Kansas City last summer. Finally got around to going to pick it up last week. Took the week off and made a vacation of it. Left Tuesday to go pick up the tractor, stopped by my old buddy Steve's along the way and picked up two more Maytag engines. Spent Tuesday and Wednesday at Grandma's house, then left early Thursday morning headed for Pawnee OK for the 55th annual Steam and Gas Engine Show, where we spent the remainder of the weekend before heading home yesterday. Really enjoyed the show,  got to see some old friends and meet some new ones as well, met up with our very own @oliver2-44at the show Friday, was very nice to meet him and his wife.

 

Without further babbling here is the tractor, it's been repainted once and someone put the wrong decals on, but it is in fact a C not a Super C

Congrats.  Nice looking C.

 

I also had a 1949 C, albeit briefly.  I traded for it, and then gave it to my nephew over a year ago.  He's been using it since.  The C's are nice little tractors.

Very nice tractor Bryce!! C's are an awesome cultivator tractor.

 

Spotted it as a C right away with out looking a the decals. There is a quick way to tell the difference from a distance. A Super C has a larger gap between the gas tank and the hydraulic reservoir than the C does.

Once you get closer, one other difference is that a Super C will have a water pump on the engine. The C does have a water pump.
