Hello,
I am being offered a Super H, but it has been sitting along the fence line for many years, infact the can they put over the exust rusted through!

I dont know much about engines, Im a transmission guy. Me and a friend used to fix up old fords and sell them before he got a desk job and decided he was better then me....

I AM NOT re-building an engine, but since the can rusted though, I think it may be stuck. Anyway to find out before removing the head?

At the front of the engine, on the very bottom is the crank pulley. Forward from that is a shaft with a pin in it. You can get a pipe wrench on there to turn the egine. Normal rotation is ccw sitting in the seat.

Super H is good tractor, especially if it has factory hydrolic. In my humble option, I would rather work on an engine then transmission . It seems like a rebuilt engine is worth more than a rebuilt trans when it comes to sell it. If you can can repair a transmission, you can do an engine you just need to find out how. A note to Lance, respectfully, you may want to read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.

I would take a good look at the engine block to make sure it isn't cracked from freezing. It just takes a lot of patience to free up the stuck engine. I would pull the head and pour ATF into the cylinders and let it soak. The Super H's were only built for about 3 years and I never saw one in my area, only pictures. If was me I would grab it. Doing the engine will be easier than doing a transmission. Hal

Dean, if it happen to have a hand crank or you know where one is you can try turning it with it. Like mentioned a hot battery and hit the starter will also tell you. If it has sit very long with that can rusted out you can just about bet it is stuck and will need to be torn down. It could have even froze and busted the block. These old tractors are really quite easy to work on and if you have any mechanical ability at all, with a good shop manual,patience and determination you can fix this thing. When you get into it and have problems ask the folks here and most of them will have some kind of benificial advice to throw your way. Unlike some young lads most here will offer friendly, helpful advice.

You sure youre up for this? Do you know what your getting into? Why was this thing parked there? How old?

I'd remove the spark plugs and crank then engine, and see where thet takes me. It may shoot water out, or not move at all (stuck engone/piston).

How could you not know this if you worked on fords?

Lanse, I will clarify it for you. On more than one ocassion you have came off as a brat. We in general have allowed for the fact that you are young and not as experienced as you seem to think you are. Lawn mowers and farm tractors are two different beast all together. No one wants to be told that they are idiots,stupid or retarded. You should practice good manners and politeness all the time when responding to folks who are just looking for good advice from experienced mechanics,farmers and collectors who do know about some of these things, as some have owned,operated and worked on for in some cases 50 or 60 years. For instance, your reply a few days ago about the Super C being worth 500 dollars, when in fact junk Super Cs will bring that. Lots of folks including myself have attended many consignment and or farm auctions and have seen first hand the value of said tractor. Your imput is welcome here, but you may want to show a little respect and manners when replying to folks who are more than likely your elders. There is lots of valuble information for you and me to learn here, so we shouldn't ruffle to many feathers,and have a good idea of right and wrong when replying to someones questions.

Well said, Hugh MacKay Well said. I have always found that people who put others down are only doing it to build up there own ego. That old saying "Treat others as you would have them treat you" Should apply to this forum.

Funny how some people lack mechanical ability and experience, but they are nice people and want to learn more. Then, there are other people who might be pretty good mechanics but who apparently lack the ability to be nice...

No, not really. The thing was parked for "Future Use" when its owner bought another tractor, ford 2000. The next year, he went to start it up for pulling a wagon but realised the front tires are flat (they were older then the rears) and then left, and never got back to the poor old tractor, however fixing it was always in the back of his mind.

I painted the fords, and ordered parts and went around getting them. My friend was the one who screwed with the engines.

As others have said take a battry and set in in and pull the plugs and see if it turns over. If it doesn't then its locked up. If it is locked up blow out the cylinders and fill them with tranny fluid, put the plugs back in an leave it sit a couple weeks. Top off each cylinder about every other day. Then after 2 week try a battery in it again with the plug out if it still doesn't turn over just keep filling the cylinders and it may pop loose if you don't worry about time. I had one years ago I did that to for a whole year and then one day it popped free and ran good after that

If you can rebuild a transmission you shouldn't have any problems rebuilding an engine. Just acquire the proper books and manuals, and have at it.

Wish somebody would offer me a SH at a decent price I would jump at it in a min. I have never rebuilt an engine but from what my dad has told me them farmalls are real easy to work on. Heck up here in my part of Canada only place I ever see SH's are at the tractor pulls, never see them at any of the small farms anymore. I would think it would be worth getting if you have any interest in it at all.
