Hi,
I am working on a 1940 Model B s/n 85243 that belonged to my uncle since before I was born. A cousin was using it to pull logs out of the woods when it ate an exhaust valve, so now I need to bore the cylinders and buy overbore pistons. Seemed simple enough, but now I've discovered that ‘39 – ‘40 replacement parts are rare as hen's teeth. What can I do to get this (sentimental) johnny popping again?
If I can't buy replacement parts for this cylinder casting, can I bolt a later serial cylinder casting & matching head casting to this crank case? Do the studs line up? Will the skirts clear? Will the rods, bearings & crank take the additional load?
What do people do with these ‘39s & ‘40’s? Any recommendations as to how I might be able to get this tractor running again would be greatly appreciated.
