Farmall B and A

Picked up the A today. Got it home,and running, poorly. Pulled valve cover 2 stuck valves and a bent push rod. Dang it. Pulled head, got valves out. Took head off stuck B motor, I'm thinking I can use 2 good valves and a good push rod out of it.Several valves in it were badly rusted. The rest are good. Any issues I'm not thinking of? Also the big washer thing fell off the rocket arm assembly off the B, hit the floor when I was turning around to put part on table. Didn't find any such part in the A. Thoughts?

Head gasket on B says This side down.....lol

I added a couple of thin spacer washers to the rocker shaft our our C when I was going over it. The rockers weren't centered on the valves very well. It's been over 12 years now, I suppose I should pull the cover and check the valve clearance, they probably wore in at a new spot.

If you need parts I have a lot of engine parts from the B and A I used to make my BA. I have a complete head also and a lot of other parts. I also have a deluxe seat that has the spring and the shock with back rest and a place for a cushion. All the wood parts are not longer there but I'm sure you and your wife could take care of that

I straightened a bent push rod like that on a Cockshutt 30 years ago.
Used a hammer on something like an anvil.
I did not have an anvil when I was a teenager.
Ran great after that.
