Well I am going to start working on my 26 round ball governor regular next week. Found a nice original 30 model that is very nice and clean and the motor is super clean to use for a parts tractor. I hate to part out a nice original tractor for parts but I"ve been told my 26" is fairly rare? I"ve posted pics on here long time ago but decant find them. My engine is completely junk in the 26 so I"m going to take everything out of the 30 block and install into the 26 crank cam sleeves pistons bearings everything I was wondering if I will run into any snags for the internal swap? Also my 26 block number is 2425 but the toolbox tag is gone can I get a new tag for it and if so would it be the same as the block number? There is not a number in the frame of my tractor. Thank you for the help as this project is going to take a while as this tractor is scrap steel beginnings

Well I got the 26 regular and the 22-36 "Parts Tractor's" hauled into the shop today the regular is just as rough as I remember it being when I took it apart probably 3 years ago. All that is going to be salvageable is the block/ Round ball governor assembly and a few external pieces. I think a cutting torch is the special tool to remove the crank, rods, and crank bearings unless someone has a better method of attacking this fencerow project? If memory serves me correctly the crankcase had 3-4 gal of water in it when we pulled it apart, I pulled 2 of the rod caps off today and the crankshaft has been eaten away by rust beyond salvageability. I plan on using the nice original 30' regular as a donor and installing all of the internals from it into this block. I was wondering if anyone here might have some pictures/ or any information as to some of the parts that are hard to find so I might start looking, or maybe someone here might have some they would part with? I've been told that the multi disc clutch in this tractor is somewhat hard to find when we pulled this one apart is was completely rusted away it looked like a large pile of crushed walnuts. Also the original manifold/ carb were long gone as well, the guy who I got this tractor from removed the steel wheels from this years ago to put on his Allis WC I was wondering if they were different as well as later regulars of F-20's?. at this point any and all information, advice, or part leads is GREATLY APPRECIATED. thank you again..
 
Hoping this is not a double post - first reply seemed to disappear.

My husband is mechanically restoring a '31 Regular. YT does not have parts for Regulars... so we have purchased parts from the following sources:
Ebay
Nebraska Cowman
Gordon Rice Equip. of PA
Alderson Tractor of IA
Biewer's Tractor Salvage of MN

Have seen numerous clutch plates on Ebay (though I am unsure if they are the type you refer to)... we bought a lot of stuff there: extra manifold, E4A magneto, brass carburetor, potato muffler, small gas starter-tank, brake shoes & springs, user manual, parts manual and the Todd Markle book on F-Series... and some other stuff I can't think of right now.
 
Forgot... there is a helpful website (for specs, production history, etc.), just google: Harold Sohner's 1927 Farmall Regular.

There is also a website with a free magneto manual... but every time I try to post the link, it does not work.
 
from the pics you posted, the governor is not the pickering attachment. Here are some pictures of a NOS Pickering Governor Attachment I have for the 10-20

nosIh is correct, they all had the round governor housing you show in your pic up until engine serial #QC8827.(march of 27) which has the more square housing and enclosed carb linkage. Even though you don't have a Pickering ball governor it is still an early "regular" Farmall and worth saving. The tractor serial number should be the same and the QC tractors were built at Tractor Works before the Farmall Works were completed and the serial numbers changed to the T prefix.

Now if I read your post right you want to use a 22-36 as a parts tractor? Other than nuts and bolts practically NOTHING will fit the Farmall. You need another regular or F20.
 
Showed my husband your post. He said your project sounds interesting and he would love to see more photos as you go about this restoration.

If any photos from a 1931 Regular would be helpful just do shout out to me and I will try to get requested pics... ours is still dismantled, but slowly and surely coming together.
