I went this morning and picked up a 43 Farmall H this morning. Kinda cool to see a steel tag instead of aluminum. Don't know what I'm going to do with it yet but it will live on. Engine is stuck and I have it sitting with a pile of stuff in the cylinder soaking.
 
Take a lite and look in the cycls and if they are rusty soaking will never get them loose got to remove the head and get the sleeves and pistns out and replace with new
 
There not bad. I have built a fire in the cylinders with diesel fuel and motor oil with a little gas . It has loosen up one and the rest are showing signs of wanting to move. I got lucky and the crank is laying on its side and not up and down.
 
That's an interesting question. I've always thought that it would be better if the crank was up and down. Seems to me that way the crank could move the greatest distance while the pistons moved the least. I'm thinking you would get the most "mechanical advantage" on the pistons that way. I could be wrong though.
 
When I was in high school, a friends Dad had a M built during the war, it was painted brown, his Dad said it came that way, for some reason they didn't have enough red paint to paint them red. Chris
 
Good for you Aaron! Don't know what you're going to do with it?
Well, I suppose you could always drag it out here and drop it off! :lol:
 
It also allows such dramatic mechanical advantage that rods bend, and pistons crack, and cranks break in two. Flat is much more tolerant. Jim
