Hi Sarge, You will like that old tractor even more by redoing the engine yourself. Take pictures of the engine before and as you disassemble the engine. They may come in handy
when you're doing the assembly. Take some notes too. Make a note as you remove the main bearing caps so they can be reinstalled correctly. This also applies to the connecting rod caps. The numbers on the caps and rods usally face the camshaft side of the engine.

Do not just throw nuts and bolts into a box as you do the teardown. Put all nuts and bolts from one section of the engine into a box
and mark the box as to where they were removed.
An example would be the head bolts, then the rocker arms and bolts. Pan bolts in another box.
This saves time during assembly so you do not need to hunt for the correct bolts or nuts.

I would get the engine degreased "cooked" once you have it stripped. Have the machine shop to check the crankshaft and install new cam bearings. They may recommend using a new cam shaft. Redo the cylinder head too. Find a good machine shop in your area. Good Luck, Hal

Post it here when you have finished and have it running.
