I would definately clean it up. Looks a little carbon and possibly rust coated. I've always used a tub of diesel fuel and a good stiff, yet absorbent, brush to clean hard parts like your rocker arms. The diesel is a good solvent that isn't as flammable as gasoline, and is much cheaper that buying store brand cleaners. Also, I love the smell of that diesel. Another thing to check for is the oiling ports and holes. Make sure that they are not plugged up with anything, and I would suggest using an air compressor to purge those lines and clean out any sludge that may have accumulated over the years. Hope that helps, Mr. J PS: I just had a student bring in a Super 44 Oliver, there were only 750 of those made. It was stuck tight from sitting 14 years in grandpas shed, but, now we've got the pistons and valves out and are looking forward to hearing the little bugger run in a couple of months....Just a little heads up from the Jasper MO agricultural education shop.
