I have posted pics of the 1926 coming home. Where now do I start???

I confirmed with my uncles that the motor had been rebuilt and never started, parked in the woods for 50+ years.

I pulled the head off of the tractor. The pushrods came out ok, some of the values move very easy, the other are sluggish. A couple of the values still have a grease pen marking on the bottom with the # of the position of the value during the rebuild!. The pistions are pretty rusted. The crank looks almost new with a little bit of surface rust.

The transmission shifts but the clutch seems froze. I have heard of a local engine builder, have a media blaster and a paint guy lined up. Do i pull the motor and give to the motor guy or take the whole tractor? What is the order for attacking this project? I need to go get the 1927 and see which one I should rebuild first.

I need one of the tractors ready for a show on Labor Day of 2009. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dave

i would pull the motor and start on it. basically go over everything that was done in the rebuild and then some. have the cylinders checked, it may need boring due to rust pitting. while the motor is out you can start working on the trans and differential. disassemble, check, clean, paint. have the valve guides checked too, may need to lap the valves.

Get new sleeves and Pistons if needed.

Nice ol 10-20 you got Dave, just a little short on sheet metal. There is a muffler that goes between the manifold and the dome mounted on the firewall. Post over on the IH board for more help.
