He’s done that before. That’s why I follow his builds. I like his technique .You can start these tractors sitting on the ground,some 4x4’s under the engine mounts. No engine stand needed!
Sorry to hear this. What are you looking for to replace it?Went for a cruise last night. Didn't get too far as the truck suddenly locked the back tires, I pushed in the clutch and rolled to a stop. Motor seized. Had to call a friend to tow me home.
Guess my mystery motor is junk.

Tractors is absolutely correct, gotta love itWell I ran it some after the valve adjustment. There's still a bad noise. Kind of a slapping, lite knocking sound.
Since my oil pan reseal didn't seal.....I have no reason not to check out the bottom end. I gotta dig thru my stash cause I might even have some new rod bearings.
I keep telling myself......I do this for fun. I keep positive and at least I will learn more about our beloved tractors.
Add a stopper for the nut while it is outside and convenientCan also remove the copper tube from the rocker assembly and see how much oil is flowing. Just be sure to secure the nut from slipping down the hole in the head. It can continue down into the block. The nut is made of brass and magnetic wouldn't help retrieve it.
Turn the motor some to line up the oil ports flowing upwards. It's a hit or miss affair and takes a fair bit of turning before you get dribbles and finally only good flow. Oil generously while it's open or if you are taking apart the rockers, I give them a good coating of engine assembly lube to help out.I have the side cover off so no worries on loosing the copper feed line nut. I did undo one end and ran the drill, but never got any oil. Possibly did not run it long enough.
