I"m thinking about overhauling my Farmall M this winter. The last time it was done was back in 1984. I use it to farm 160 acres so it has had some real hours on it since that time, and it"s starting to use oil.
I know all about replacing the sleeves, pistons, rings, bearings, valves etc. But wanted to know if I should do some other things. This is the third time this tractor will be overhauled, and as I mentioned she is still a working girl and does some heavy crop tillage (mostly tandem disking in the spring and also planting).
For example: should I get the connecting rods and/or crankshaft or block magnifluxed? Should the connecting rod bushings be replaced? This will be the third time the head and block mating surfaces will be smoothed-down. Is there a limit to how many times you can do this? Are there any other things I should do over and above the standard overhaul? Thanks for any advice and it is appreciated!
