Hi guys,
I have the opportunity to buy a 1947 Farmall MD for a very reasonable price, the only catch is that the head needs to be re-installed. The guy restored the tractor after the old head cracked and got a brand new head for it but hasn't had time to complete the restoration and re-install the head.
My question is, how hard is it to re-assemble and install the head and then get it running? I haven't worked on any Farmall MD's before so is there anything I need to or should know? I have a neighbor with a SMD who would be able to help if I needed it but he has been busy lately.
From what i've been told the only major thing I need to look into is how the injectors and diesel switch levers go.
Thanks for all the help in advance,
FarmallCT
