Thank you very much to all of you who've helped me with my H. I took the head and gasket down to our local independent tractor dealer/repairman and he checked the head with a straightedge and said it was a little warped but not badly and that he'd try putting it back on. I put a NAPA thermostat in the housing and put that together, put copper coat on the head gasket and put everything together again. At first it didn't have any compression because I forgot to adjust the valves, but after I did it started. The thermostat is working, and when it got up to 150 or so it let the water flow. I put the funny tester back on the radiator and this time I could use it because there were no bubbles coming out. The liquid stayed blue, so I think everything is okay now. I retorqued the head and will check it again in the morning when it is cold before I put on the rocker shaft. I am very grateful to all of you on here who are kind enough to share your expertise with those of us who are new to this. Zach

The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
