I have a '49 Super A. First tractor. This all started when it was running rough, so I changed everything electrical, as it had the original (corroded) wiring. Then I opened the carb, which was a crudded mess with a broken float, and decided to put on a new one. Then I took off my governor, which was full of slop. Had to take off the radiator to get off the governor, so I flushed out the cooling system with a hose. Decided, (while waiting for my governor to get back via Brown), to change my manifold, which was tremendously pitted, and so I could assure myself of no intake leaks. Now that the manifold is off, I see the exhaust ports are maybe 5-10% occluded with this black crud which chips off in chunks. I carefully cleaned/pulled out the worst.
So, do I stop here, and put 'er back together, or pull the head and get it redone? And then what? Will I decide I better get the engine block done? And then while the tractor is split...
Yaaaaaaaahhhhhhh... *Sigh*. If I drop the pan, will I be looking at the crankshaft, and is there some best way to assess the health of the bearings?
