I have been messing around with valve lash adjustments on these farmall engines. From H-706 gas. I use a compression guage to set the lash. Here is what I did on my 54 Super H C-169. I pull this tractor in div 1 in our local club. I warmed it up to operating temp, and removed the plugs, and the valve cover. I used the .017 as the starting point, and the one valve opened, one closed method, adjusted the closed valve tighter than .017. then checked the compression until I got the highest reading, then adjusted the open valve, after repeating the process. The first reading was 129 psi. (firecrater pistons), after this process, peak psi is 155. it first was 38, on the dyno, now it is 44hp. The head is a 8043DD, milled .010, stock head gasket, 3-9/16 firecraters. I had rebuilt this engine about 13 years ago, Dad got it for me for a birthday gift, (Thanks Dad!!) It has been on the pulling track ever since. It is a strong running ol Super H, and my personal favorite tractor in the world!! She runs good! 1st place 2003 points champ, NCIATPA 3250-4500 farm and field class. I can also say that my older sister gave me a good run last year on her 53 Super H as well!! Hers is a bit stronger than my old friend (my super) yet my super always out pulled her, LOL (Sorry sis, I had to!!) LOL Just one of my opinions, ChadS. Steininger Pulling Team, Akron Indiana

It's Alright Where It Is! - by Anthony West. I have a tale of a different kind to tell. Whilst rooting in the hedge bottoms this week I had cause to visit Chapel lane Farm, the home of an eccentric gentleman by the name of Austin Kendall. I had heard rumours that an old Case Model C was languishing away in the back of one of the outbuildings there. So off I went in search of what would turn out to be a very rare and unusual tractor. Mr Kendall is an excitable chap to say the least. He is amongst the last of a dying breed of farmer who
