To all, I have a Farmall A that has run great since I've had it (about 2 yrs). I started it for the first time this year a few weeks ago. It ran fine the first half hour. I took it for a spin around the block and it died out. It restarted right away and I drove it home. It died out in the driveway and has not run since. I cleaned the carb and checked all the electrical. The gas was old with some junk in it, but the carb appeared to be clean. I drained and cleaned everything and tried to restart with no luck. It would fire but not run. I did a compression test and discovered that there was very little compression on all of the cylinders. At that point we went on vacation for 2 weeks. Upon returning, I removed the valve cover and discovered 3 push rods were not engaged with the valve levers. I tried to crank the engine manually, but it was froze solid. I have also removed the valve lever assembly and retried cranking and it is still froze. What might have happened here? I think I have to continue to tear the engine down, but I wouldn't mind hearing some other ideas on what the next step is and to what degree of an overhaul I might be in for. The engine was supposedly overhauled before I got it. It always ran very smooth and did not burn any oil, plus it always started on the first turn. Any comments or ideas are welcome. Thank you.

Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
