Well, my brother-in-law had this old (1946) Row Crop 60 that he was using the motor to test an experimental fuel source he was working on. Once he proved out his theory, he wanted this gone. So he and I worked on it here and there, on and off, over the winter. Put a new clutch in, one of the tires is new, put a radiator out of a Chevette or some such thing in it, brazed the manifold, new pipe, battery, some other miscellaneous stuff. He brought it down to my house on the flat bed today. You have to hot wire it and I have to put a new alternator on (already have it, one wire, 12 volt system), fix one side of the brakes and a whooole lot of other TLC stuff. Here are some pics of my first experience riding it at my place. 

Now, before the pics, I have a question. When we replaced the clutch we re-used the throw out bearing. It was very smooth and tight, so I tried to force a little grease into it for good measure, cleaned it up and used it. Now, when you press the clutch pedal the drive shaft keeps spinning. If you are in gear, it stops. If you put it in neutral, it spins. You can press on it with a two by four (with the clutch in) and it will stop. Once it is stopped you can shift into any gear smoothly. If you let it get spinning, it grinds. Will this &quot;break in&quot;? Is it badly adjusted? Oh, also, if you really press hard on the clutch, it sounds like something is spinning and banging into the bell housing. Hmmm....any experts have any easy fixes for this?

Now, without further ado.....
