Removed head today after cleaning tractor. Valves move but head gasket was breached. I drained coolant prior to removing head and I found coolant in #3 cylinder even though #2 was the one with no compression. I cleaned head and deck. I placed head back on block and it had a slight wobble. I laid a straight edge on the head and could see some light thru the middle section of the head. I did the same to be block but did not detect any problem. I am leaning toward trying a new gasket without getting the head shaved. If I lay the head on the block, it wobbles if you press down diagonally on one direction but not diagonally in the other direction. It does not wobble if pressed down straight down the middle from front to back. I did see a slight nick on top of #2 valve. If I can get someone to take photos I will post. The tops of all valves have Ford logo, making me think there never has been any recent valve work done on this tractor.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
